Myanmar-Kyrgyzstan game investigated for fixing

FIFA is investigating allegations Myanmar deliberately threw a 2022 World Cup qualifier match last year, the country's football body said Thursday.

Myanmar lost the October match against Kyrgyzstan 7-0, the Southeast Asian side's third defeat in a row. Myanmar football writer and analyst Htun Htun Oo said he was unconvinced there had been foul play. "Losing by lots of goals comes as no surprise to Myanmar fans," he said.
