– As if by chance, we had a more or less dangerous free kick, it’s unpleasant to realize that it may have happened on purpose. Why not? The ball was in someone else’s penalty area,” Matsukatov said on Special Reporting on .
– I thought the light was turned off on purpose, a dangerous moment occurred. It’s my first time. I did not understand the decision taken. The ball should have been returned to us, we had to replay the free kick. Why did the judge make this decision? I gave the ball to the goalkeeper, the game started, said another Akron midfielder, Evgeny Pesegov.
