A video shared by blogger Cyprian Nyakundi has been spreading on social media, creating discussions among football fans. The video features Patrick Matasi, popularly known as Kenya One, in a conversation with an unidentified person whose voice is heard but face is not visible.
The conversation appears to be about match-fixing, with the unknown individual asking Matasi to allow two goals in the first half of a game. Matasi responds in a way that suggests he is open to the idea, even mentioning that he would talk to his defenders to see how they can make it happen.
The video has raised serious concerns among football lovers, with many questioning its authenticity. In the digital era, videos can be edited or manipulated, making it difficult to determine whether the exchange was real or if Matasi was being framed.
However, the nature of the conversation and Matasi’s responses have fueled speculation that there could be some truth to the claims. As expected, reactions have been strong, with some football fans sharing past clips where Matasi conceded what they describe as “cheap goals.”
This has added to the debate, with many wondering whether he has been involved in such activities before or if the current video is being taken out of context.
One of the most notable responses to the video came from Michael Olunga, one of Kenya’s top footballers. Olunga seemed surprised by the video and responded to a fan by stating that his integrity cannot be compromised.
His reaction has added weight to the matter, as many view him as a respected figure in Kenyan football. Olunga’s stance also raises the question of whether other footballers have been approached with similar match-fixing deals and how they have handled such situations. At the moment, there has been no official statement from Matasi regarding the allegations.
The football community is waiting for his side of the story to understand the context of the conversation. It is also unclear whether football authorities or investigative bodies will step in to verify the video and take action if needed.
Match-fixing is a serious offense in sports, and if proven, it can lead to bans, fines, or even criminal charges. For now, the video remains a hot topic, with different opinions emerging. Some believe Matasi should come forward and explain himself, while others argue that without clear evidence, it is wrong to judge him.
Football fans are left wondering whether Kenyan football is at risk of being tainted by corruption or if this is just another social media controversy blown out of proportion.
