Former FIFA referee Sergei Lapochkin on the air MATCH PRIME did not agree with the decision of the chief referee of the match of the 24th round of the WORLD RPL “Krasnodar” – “Zenit” Sergei Ivanov to show a yellow card to the defender of the “bulls” Vitor Tormena .
In the 41st minute, the Brazilian received the first warning, and at the end of the second half – the second, after which he was sent off. The match ended with a score of 2: 1 in favor of the “blue-white”. blue”.
— In the first half, during Zenit’s counterattack, we see some kind of contract between Tormena and a player from the St. Petersburg team, he falls and Sergei Ivanov awards a free kick and shows Tormena a yellow card for disrupting the attack. Looking closer, I don’t see any fault. It might have seemed that Tormena hit the Zenit striker in the face, but the card in the protocol was recorded as “the interruption of a promising attack.” This means that there was no contact with the face, then there would be “unfair play”. And then the partner recovers the ball, so we cannot talk about disrupting a promising attack. I don’t see any fault, it seems to me that the first card was shown incorrectly.
This is a classic example of walking with the whole foot, from behind. It’s a yellow card always and everywhere, at any time, at any time. Here we cannot say that the second yellow was displayed incorrectly; it was displayed absolutely correctly; There are questions on the first card, but the second is displayed quite correctly,” Lapochkin said on MATCH PRIME.
After 23 matches played, Zenit occupies first place in the standings with 47 points, Krasnodar (43 points) occupies second place.
