Even in the first half, Turkish referee Arda Kardesler sent off Serbian defender Milan Gajić and awarded a penalty in favor of the Russian team. Karpin admitted that it would be better if the judge did not expel the Serbian defender.

“Are you satisfied with everything? Overall, with such a score… The sending off played a big role. Putting that aside, then I liked the ending. After 2-0 and the sending off, we relaxed.
Would it have been better if Gayich had not been impeached? 100% yes. Maybe from a result point of view, it’s worse. But from an information point of view, it would be more interesting to test yourself,” Karpin said at a press conference.
