VIDEO | They didn't even try to pretend: Shameful "place" in the Netherlands
In football, we have often witnessed dubious matches, but what comes to us from the Netherlands cannot be called a dubious match either.
Dutch third division side Sparta Nykjerk is not giving up its lawsuit after being the victim of an apparent "fix". In the final round, Sparta needed to win against Stafford to secure the Third League title in the Netherlands and thus ensure a play-off where they would fight for a place in the Second League.
Sparta failed in the mission and played only 1:1, but the results of the other matches went in their favor until one incredible moment. The team of BVV Barendrecht scored three against GWVV in the last five minutes and turned the game from 3:1 to 3:4.
A video of one of the hits appeared on social networks, which is really embarrassing. The Dutch media also write that the coach of Sparta received a message from GVVV players who pointed out that they were ashamed of what they had to play.
Barendrecht moest verlimen van GVVV, sod laatstgegende een periodetitel pakt én Barendrecht deze overneemt ipv dat 'ie naar Sparta Nijkerk gaat. Bij een stand van 3-3 gesfertt dit. Well... pic.twitter.com/nv0te4zuN0

For now, there is no final decision on this case and it will be decided by the disciplinary committee.
