We’ve seen England beat Spain on their own turf, Germany are staring relegation in the face and Gibraltar have won twice in the space of four days.

Incredible.

After beating Armenia 1-0 on Saturday, ‘The Rock’ followed that up with a 2-1 win against Liechtenstein on Tuesday.

It leaves them with a chance of being promoted from League D, Group 4.

But football fans were talking about League D, Group 4 for another reason on Tuesday rather than just Gilbralter’s win against Liechtenstein.

In the other fixture on Tuesday night, Armenia beat Macedonia 4-0.

Prior to that match, Macedonia had won all three of their matches, while Armenia entered the match on the back of two defeat (Macedonia 0-2 and Gibraltar 0-1).

So when Armenia ran out 4-0 winners, there were a few raised eyebrows.

However, those eyebrows turned into suspicions after seeing all four goals during the match – while, there was also a last-minute sending off for Macedonia.

Macedonia goalkeeper, Stole Dimitrievski, was probably at fault for three of the four goals – while the other was given away by a defender – and it’s led to a Reddit thread discussing the possibility of match-fixing.

It must be mentioned that the goalkeeper in question actually plays for Real Vallecano in La Liga, so it’s not a case of just being rubbish.

Take a look at the goals here:

Yeah, Dimitrievski had a bit of a nightmare.

And now check out the reaction on Reddit:

It certainly makes you suspicious.

Of course, there’s no evidence that there was any match-fixing going on during Armenia and Macedonia, but there’s plenty of football fans that believe there was.
