Overview
- The admitted offenses span six A-League matches in 2023–24, with the December 9, 2023 game against Sydney FC central to deliberate yellow cards by Davila, Clayton Lewis and Kearyn Baccus.
- Court material details more than A$200,000 in winning payouts routed through overseas site Betplay and A$10,000 payments from Davila to each teammate.
- Lewis and Baccus received two-year community-based orders without convictions in September after a magistrate found they were at the bottom of the scheme.
- Investigators outlined coordination with an overseas contact known as “J Col,” more than 50 synchronized bets on the yellow-card market, and further fixes discussed but not carried out.
- Macarthur FC suspended the players, later ended their contracts, and publicly called for urgent reforms to football integrity protocols.
