AFCON 2019: Round of 16 fixtures may be changed over match-fixing allegations
The Warriors were dumped out of the competition, after losing 4-0 to the Congolese.
It is suggested that that Congolese businessman and politician, Moise Katumbi, the multi-millionaire owner of TP Mazembe, could have been involved in the plot to sway Zimbabwe goalkeeper, Elvis Chipezeze, to underperform in the big match and boost the cause of the Central Africans. CAF’s emergency committee have reportedly begun an investigation into the matter, which could lead to a heavy fine and possible expulsion from the AFCON for DR Congo.
It could also mean that Uganda are moved up to be the best third place team, which would change the entire knockout stage bracket.
