Poland defender Jacek Bak has claimed he was offered a bribe before the Euro 2008 Qualifying match against Belgium on Wednesday.
Bak made the revelation after Radoslaw Matusiak's solitary strike had handed Poland a 1-0 win in Brussels.
According to Dziennik newspaper, the former Lyon defender was offered 10,000 euros to concede a penalty during the match.
'Something strange happened before the start of the match. A person came to me and asked me to throw the match,' said the 33-year-old.
Bak, who plays for Al-Rayyan Doha in Qatar, refused to reveal details of the proposal, but Poland captain Maciej Zurawski added: 'Jacek told me about what had happened, but we couldn't talk too much.'
Former Poland international goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski believes the corruption attempt could amount to 'the biggest scandal in European football in recent years.'
'If this attempt of corruption really took place and Jacek Bak can prove it, he will be considered a hero,' said Tomaszewski.
