'This is reality of Indian football...' - fans fume at alleged match-fixing in Delhi Football League

Delhi FC owner Ranjit Bajaj has also spoken out about match-fixing in the Delhi Football League.

In the recent Delhi Football League match between Ahbab FC and Rangers, a surprising incident of alleged match-fixing came to light. During the game, Ahbab players appeared to concede two additional soft goals in the final four minutes, despite leading 4-0. This curious turn of events resulted in Ahbab FC securing a 4-2 victory.

The incident came to light when clips of the final two goals were circulated on social media and fans complained about their auspicious nature. The video shared, showed clear evidence of the game being rigged. Soon after, Delhi FC owner Ranjit Bajaj took to social media and stated that his team too was approached by the betting companies.
