Regarding match-fixing, it is most severely punished where the game is played for an audience, as it greatly spoils the show for which money has been paid. Or where bets are placed on the outcome of the game. This relates to the Juventus situation.
However, where the game is played for the athletes themselves, the attitude towards match-fixing is more relaxed. That is, it is, of course, condemned by the public, but scandals and investigations are not organized because of it. At most, the organizers may not invite the player to the next similar tournament.
For example, second-tier chess tournaments – all sorts of open tournaments, amateur Swiss-system tournaments, etc. If players want to have a day off and play a forced draw, fixing the result on the 10th move, it's their right.
My point is that if anyone has a bright idea to fix a match, do it skillfully, without being noticed by the public. There are many ways to do this – to lose in the endgame, to let your opponent gain an advantage in the middlegame, to accidentally attack with a unit and lose, etc. The worst thing about match-fixing in the early stages of a tournament is the publicity.
