Clube Desportivo da Lunda Sul accused of bribery

The board of Vitória FC do Bié accused Clube Desportivo da Lunda Sul, coached by the Portuguese Sergio Traguil, of bribing their players, in the match counting for the sixth round of the qualifying zone.

The match in question, counting for series C, took place on July 18, with a 3-0 victory for Clube Desportivo da Lunda Sul, in the province of Bié.

The complaint was made public this Tuesday, by Israel Dias da Silva, member of Vitória FC.

The sports official said that after internal investigations, written messages and audios were found, exchanged by one of his players and one of the board members of the accused team, reporting the alleged bribery.

The names of both, as well as other athletes involved, were not revealed.

The president of the provincial football association of Bié, Augusto Teles, guaranteed that the evidence had already been forwarded to the Angolan Football Federation and to the Criminal Investigation Service.

The chairman of the board of the Clube Desportivo da Lunda Sul, Miguel da Silva, after the emergency meeting held this Tuesday, due to the case, denied the accusation, promising, on the other hand, to sue Vitória FC do Bié.

Portuguese coach Sérgio Traguil has also reacted publicly, saying they want to conquer away from the pitch what they couldn't achieve on the four lines.

"I find it curious that this came out exactly after the game with Sporting do Bié, especially after we were champions. What they didn't achieve on the field, they are trying outside. I was there, I was one of the players in the game, whether our management or any other member would pay for the Bié team to lose against us, I would say they did a poor job," he said.

Clube Desportivo da Lunda Sul qualified for the first time in the first division of football, after a 1-0 victory over Sporting do Bié on Sunday.

Under the guidance of Traguil, two months after assuming the technical command of the team, Desportivo da Lunda Sul continues to lead Group C, with 18 points.

If the suspicions are confirmed, Desportivo may be suspended and removed from all competitions.
