Relegated Eldense claim 12-0 loss to Barca B was fixed

After the huge defeat, striker Cheikh Saad has alleged several of his team-mates threw Saturday's game and the team will not play again this season

Spanish club Eldense believe the 12-0 loss to Barcelona B which saw them relegated from the Segunda Division B was fixed, prompting them to stop playing for the rest of the season.

The club have collected just 14 points this season and Saturday's astounding loss ensured they will drop to the Tercera Division.

Eldense have now cut ties with the Italian investment group which has been involved since earlier this season and players and officials are adamant that there were more than just Barca B players playing against them.
