Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev on the air of MATCH PRIME expressed the opinion that the footballer “Ural” Italian should not have received a second yellow card in the MIR RPL 23rd round match against Krylia Sovetov.
The meeting took place in Yekaterinburg and ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the “Wings”. The winning goal was scored in the 79th minute from the penalty spot. The referee studied the video replay before awarding the penalty. In the 61st minute, defender Italo was sent off by the hosts for a second yellow card.
– Grant a penalty? The simulation of the simulation is discord. There are moments after which you can continue the game, and there are moments, like in the Dynamo – Spartak match, when Smolov fell so spectacularly that it was impossible to do without a yellow card. Kukuyan sees the episode clearly. The goalkeeper does not play the ball. The ball is pushed by a player of the attacking team, this is enough to decide a penalty.
As for the situation with Italo, the second “mustard plaster” should be heavier. The Ural player’s movement is natural for this episode, there is no deliberate rudeness against the opponent. Here, perhaps, Pavel (Kukuyan) was too hasty with the second yellow card,” Nikolaev said on the air of the program “The Rules of the Game” on MATCH PRIME.
