UEFA probes Europa League match for fixing
UEFA is investigating evidence that suggests a Europa League match was fixed last month.
UEFA says its betting fraud monitoring system ''has detected suspicious betting patterns'' in Albanian club Tirana's 5-0 loss against Aalesund of Norway.
European soccer's governing body says it has ''mandated a disciplinary inspector to further investigate the matter.''
Norway's soccer association has said it was alerted by the national lottery, which stopped taking bets when the score reached 2-0 in the second-leg match of the second qualifying round July 26.
Lottery officials reported unusual betting patterns from undisclosed Asian countries, including wagers that the game would end 5-0.
Aalesund, which scored four times in the second half, advanced 6-1 on aggregate.
