- Scandal for: Spartak fans met Dzyuba harshly at Otkritie Arena
“Ivanov brings problems for himself. It was easier to whistle and finish the attack. It’s a violation of the rules, the Loko player tried to cover the ball and the Spartak player got into it hooked, actively used his hands in the fight, eventually turned the opponent around and took the ball away from him.
This is not a martial arts board. What is Ivanov guided by? What was the judge thinking? Ignatov simply turned the defender over with his hands, for me that’s a violation, especially against a defender in the penalty area. Now everyone will talk about it and Ivanov will be excused. Spartak’s second goal against Loko could not be counted.
This is Ivanov’s stupid decision: in the first half there was a controversial episode in the Spartak penalty area: some believe that it was possible to show the second yellow Khlusevich and designate a penalty against Spartak for the episode with Miranchuk. Now there was no need to count Zobnin’s goal. It turns out two key episodes – and both against Lokomotiv,” Fedotov said.
