Athletistic/Football. Former Russian football referee Igor Fedotov spoke about refereeing during the central match of the 17th round of the RPL between Lokomotiv and Zenit (3: 1). The main referee of this meeting was Alexey Sukhoi.
“A difficult match for Sukhoi. Now he is the best in all respects. As for Pinyaev and his jump, for me personally it is a yellow card. At that moment there was no excessive force , no open spikes. Yes, he hit the opponent. , but he did it sideways, “I immediately withdrew my leg and apologized. To remove it, you still need something more. But here there was no reason to show a red card. At that moment, Sukhoi understood everything,” Fedotov said in an interview with Championship.
After the defeat in Moscow, Zenit ceased to be the leader of the Russian championship. Sergei Semak’s team with 33 points after 17 matches now occupies second place in the RPL standings, behind Krasnodar (35). Lokomotiv now occupies sixth place with 28 points.
