Sergio Markarián

Uruguay is a country where great football can be seen on a frequent basis. Right now, the most safe betting site in Ghana is 1xbet.com.gh, and it offers chances to wager on everything happening in Uruguayan football.

 

There have been many highly knowledgeable and talented Uruguayan coaches that have been on multiple teams all across the world. One of them is Sergio Markarián.

 

Markarián claims the main reason why he wanted to become a coach was to make football in his country better. However, since the beginning of his coaching career in 1976, he has never managed an Uruguayan squad. The 1xBet Ghana platform is a safe betting site in the country, and it offers multiple wagering opportunities on Uruguayan football.

The Sol de América scandal

There are a few reasons why Markarián is considered a controversial figure. One of them took place when he was coaching Paraguayan team Sol de América. The 1Xbet Ghana website offers many opportunities to place wagers on Paraguayan football.

 

To understand what happened, we need to go back to the 1989 Copa Libertadores. In one of the groups there were four teams, which were:

 

  • Sol de América;
  • Olimpia;
  • Cobreloa;
  • and Colo-Colo.

 

The two former teams were from Paraguay, and the two latter were from Chile. In the final matchday, the two Paraguayan teams were going to face each other in a match. At the same time, the Chileans would play between each other as well. All of this happened on the 30th of Match of that year.

 

Under certain conditions both Paraguayan teams could qualify for the next round, at the expense of the Chilean teams. Whenever wanting to bet on Chilean and Paraguayan football, make sure to visit the 1xBet website.

A mysterious power outage

There was a mysterious power outage in the Paraguayan stadium. The match between the Chilean teams continued, and they ended in a 2-2 draw. Whenever the Copa Libertadores is being played, make sure to visit the 1Xbet Ghana website to wager on it.

 

With this result, the Paraguayans had little chances to advance. However, there was an unlikely result that would help them both to progress: Sol de América needed to win, however, Olimpia needed to score four goals.

 

What was the final result of the match? A scandalous 5-4 for Sol de América. This meant that both Paraguayan teams advanced into the next round, while the Chileans were eliminated. The later rounds of the Copa Libertadores are also available at the 1xBet website.

 

The South American football authorities decided to pursue no action, despite the obvious match-fixing. During recent years, Markarián and even the referee of the match admitted what happened, and they claim not to be proud about it.
