SINGAPORE: A player from former Singapore football league side Liaoning Guangyuan was sentenced to seven months in jail yesterday for match-fixing.
Zhao Zhipeng, 26, from China, was the first of seven players from the team to appear in court.
Court documents said Zhao accepted S$2,000 from the club’s manager, Wang Xin, as a reward for helping the club lose by at least three goals during an S-League match on Nov 1, 2007.
