“The match was great, the battle on the field was intense. But the refereeing leaves much to be desired. This is the so-called “best” referee in Russia. How can you not give Laxalt a penalty?! Before that, the Krasnodar defender simply knocks him down – this is a clear block and a second yellow card! The refereeing was either biased or incompetent. Not to mention the situation with Lunev, when Cordoba injured the goalkeeper, but did not even receive a card. Karasev’s refereeing, everything is clear with him,” Smetanin noted in an interview with SE.
After six matches, Dynamo is in fourth place in the Russian Championship standings with 12 points. In the next round, the Moscow team will meet Orenburg on September 1.
