The two penalties during the MIR RPL 15th round match between “Lokomotiv” And “Torch” were appointed in accordance with the rules, former FIFA referee tells Sergei Lapochkin .
On Saturday, Lokomotiv beat Fakel 2:1 in Moscow. Alexei Batrakov scored both railway goals from the penalty spot. The main referee of the match was Sergei Tsyganok, the VAR referee was Artur Fedorov.
“Both penalties were awarded completely correctly. The first point is elementary. The Premier League referee himself is obliged to realize this and award a penalty. The defender carelessly hits the leg, the attacker falls in time. Everything is elementary.
The second point is very difficult. Difficult to see it on the ground. The VAR referees checked the episode extensively and scrupulously, but found a good replay and a good viewing angle, where it is clear that the ball directly touches the punished part of the hand. Half of the ball was not in the penalized part of the hand, which is covered by the T-shirt. The other half of the ball is in the penalty area. This is why it is a foul and a penalty. VAR correctly called the referee. Twice Artur Fedorov worked brilliantly and called Tsyganok, who, having looked on the monitor, made the right decisions,” Lapochkin told .
