Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev on said that on the spot Sergei Karasev allegedly found a reason to refuse to work during the 7th round match of the MIR RPL between Moscow “Spartak” and Kazan “Ruby” .
On Sunday, Dynamo lost at home to Krasnodar in the 6th round of the MIR RPL with a score of 0:1. In the 87th minute of the match, Alexander Chernikov fought with Diego Laxalt in his penalty area, as a result of which the Dynamo player ended up on the grass. The main referee of the match, Karasev, ignored the moment; the VAR referee, Sergei Ivanov, did not intervene in the episode. The ESC, headed by the RFU president, recognized Karasev’s decision as wrong.
— Karasev’s appointment for the match against Spartak is, in my opinion, provocative. It is difficult for me to say why this was done. If I were Sergei, I would find any reason to abandon this game, because it is difficult to explain to a team what people are responsible for. Those who make mistakes do not miss matches, but others do. This is a controversial issue. Of course, it will not be easy for Sergei,” Nikolaev said on .
