Former Russian referee Sergei Khusainov in a conversation with , he said that referee Sergei Ivanov made a mistake in naming a penalty in the match of the 22nd round of the WORLD of the Russian Premier League “Spartacus” — “Dynamo” (3:3) in the episode with the fall of Roman Zobnin in the Blue and White penalty area.
In the 88th minute of the game, Ivanov pointed the finger, seeing a violation in Dynamo’s penalty area by Spartak midfielder Roman Zobnin. He didn’t change his mind after consulting the VAR referees and watching the video replay.
– There is such a saying of Valery Baskakov Sr.: “Such penalties are set for large Soviet pennies.” If the game, then in the first half there was an attack from “Spartak” on the left flank, Sobolev in single combat filled the capture by the hands of the player “Dynamo”. Referee Ivanov was in a great position, but didn’t react. VAR also remained silent in this situation, but there was a violation. Sobolev’s legs rose to the penalty area, and the violation itself – a grip with his hands – was in the penalty area. This is an obvious violation: in the middle of the field, it is a foul, and in this case a penalty.
Now let’s move on to the episode with Zobnin. Serving the ball, referee Ivanov hid – went to the left diagonally, although the main struggle – catching, pushing – took place in the center of the penalty area. The position had to be taken on the other side. But Ivanov puts a penalty, not seeing the game situation. Bezborodov rightly calls him to the monitor, the referee does not change the decision. For what? An obvious simulation of Zobnin. Why did Ivanov do this?
It makes you think about your low qualifications again. Ivanov does not understand martial arts. If we compare two episodes – one with the fall of Sobolev, the other with the fall of Zobnin – they are completely different in their solution. If you miss a foul on Sobolev, what did you find on the moment with Zobnin? As a result, Ivanov makes a mistake, then walks over to the monitor when told there was no penalty and claims there was a penalty. For what? It fixes the previous bug. And these are two errors. In my opinion, it was an obvious mistake that affected the result of the match, Khusainov told .
