Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev supported the decision of the referee team led by Vasily Kazartsev to award a penalty against Moscow “Locomotive “at the end of the match of the 16th round of the Russian championship against Samara”The wings of the Soviets “
The meeting, held on November 25 in Samara, ended with a score of 3:3. The Reds and Greens led 3:1, but in second-half stoppage time the hosts equalized thanks to Vladimir Pisarsky and Benjamin Garre. The Argentinian scored a penalty in the 12th minute of added time; the penalty was awarded for hitting the ball into the hand of Lokomotiv defender Evgeniy Morozov. After the match, Lokomotiv head coach Mikhail Galaktionov spoke obscenely about the referee’s work.
“I see no reason not to award a penalty. It is clear that the episode is quite hidden from the main referee, and it is also clear how obvious this handball was, which helped the defender and prevented the attacker from going to the goal and scoring a goal . Correct intervention by the video referee and a fair decision to award a penalty.
Regarding (Galaktionov’s) emotions, a lot of it was due to the fact that the team won 3:1 and conceded two goals in stoppage time. Enough time was added. No one was outdone. Playing up to a goal – it didn’t happen, everything was within the rules, ”Nikolaev said in the program “Rules of the Game” of MATCH PRIME.
“Krylya Sovetov” with 26 points occupies fifth place in the RPL ranking, “Lokomotiv” (25) is eighth.
