ROME: Napoli is on trial for match-fixing and could be inflicted with a two-point penalty Monday after its former goalkeeper confessed to arranging the result of a game three seasons ago.
The keeper, Matteo Gianello, is seeking a 16-month plea bargain sentence after telling prosecutors that he attempted to fix the May 16, 2010, match between Sampdoria and Napoli.
It was the final round of the season and Sampdoria s 1-0 win secured fourth place and a spot in Champions League qualifying.
Current Napoli captain Paolo Cannavaro and defender Gianluca Grava are also on trial in front of the Italian football federation s disciplinary committee for allegedly failing to report the fix. Both players, along with Napoli, deny any wrongdoing.
Napoli is third in Serie A, five points behind leader Juventus.
