Lokomotiv head coach Mikhail Galaktionov spoke about the controversial refereeing in the second leg of the Russian Cup quarter-finals with Spartak (2: 4), and also spoke about the timing of the end of the match, when an 11 yard kick was awarded twice at the railroaders’ goal, one of which was interrupted. In two out of three cases, goalkeeper Ilya Lantratov saved.

“Isn’t it a pity that they aren’t discussing a brilliant game, but refereeing? It’s hard to say. You have to watch the episodes again. The turning point was in the first half, when the question arose whether it was a penalty or not a penalty As for the interpretation, we watched from the bench with the staff In our opinion, the moment was with a foul, but the judges ruled otherwise.

Would we have won the penalty shootout if it had come to this? A very difficult question. There is already a result. And talk about what would be…

Lanratov saved two penalties? They would shoot five, six, seven penalties, eight, for him to miss,” Galaktionov’s official website quotes the railway workers as saying.
