My definition of 'throwing a match' is to intentionally lose the match for the benefit of an individual or group (consider Pete Rose). 1114 benefitted from intentionally losing the match, therefore it is 'throwing the match'.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Again, my issue is not with the teams involved, but with the system the promotes this.
