As fans, we don't often get to witness actual Match-Fixing. Normally, we hear about after the fact, either by news acoount or by criminal court proceedings. However, I can think of one instance where we actually witnessed an attempt at match-fixing. On May 5, 2002, when Inter were seeing their Scudetto dreams evaporate at the hands of a Lazio thrashing, Marco Materazzi was in tears, pleading with the Laziale to lay down and allow Inter to win. His words were clear to all the lip-readers employed by the media outlets ----"I was on the Perugia team tha beat Juventus to give you the Scudetto two years ago."
Inter's long history of cheating was already well documented from the time of Angelo Moratti and Helenio Herrera.
