Kenya, March 27 -- Shocking allegations of match-fixing have emerged against goalkeeper Patrick Matasi following the leak of a secretly recorded video.
The footage, which surfaced earlier this week, allegedly captures Matasi negotiating a deal to manipulate the outcome of an upcoming match, sending ripples through the football community.
Sources close to the investigation, who spoke anonymously, claim the video shows Matasi engaged in a conversation with an unidentified individual, discussing terms to influence the game's result.
While the authenticity of the recording has yet to be officially verified, the footage has sparked widespread outrage among fans and officials alike.
Matasi, a prominent sporting figure, has not yet responded publicly to the allegations.
