'Untrue!' - Red Star angrily reject claims of match-fixing over PSG Champions League defeat

Red Star Belgrade have responded with the “highest anger and abomination” to a report of match-fixing by the club in their most recent Champions League match with Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG hosted Red Star on October 3 for the clubs' second Champions League match in Group C, with the Parisians coming away with a comfortable 6-1 victory.

The hosts jumped out to a 4-0 lead during the first half, and scored a fifth in the 70th minute before Red Star notched a goal of their own four minutes later.
