Dinamo-Lyon game 'not suspicious' - watchdog

PARIS - A probe into Lyon's shock 7-1 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb has not revealed any irregularities, France's betting watchdog said on Thursday.

France's online gaming authority, ARJEL, opened its investigation after the match in Zagreb on Wednesday night, which featured the fastest ever hat-trick in the Champions League and gave the French side a surprise ticket to the last 16 at the expense of Dutch side Ajax.

It was a remarkable rescue act for Lyon, who went into its final Group D game three points behind Ajax and needing to make up a goal difference of seven if it was to reach the knockout rounds.
