Former FIFA referee Nikolaev highlighted a rare episode in the match between Spartak and Zenit

During the match of the 8th round of the RPL WORLD”Spartacus “—”Zenith » there was a rare episode where the hosts defender Nikita Chernov I played in a boot for over a minute, ex-FIFA referee says Alexei Nikolaev .

The meeting of the teams took place in Moscow on Sunday and ended with a score of 2 to 1 in favor of the “bleu-blanc-bleu”. The meeting was supervised by a team of referees led by Pavel Kukuyan.

– An interesting episode turned out to be quite rare. I wouldn’t call it an equipment violation. It was a game situation, there is nothing to punish the defender. It’s good that he finished the episode, even in one fell swoop. I think the ref could have asked Chernov to leave to put on his boot, but I’m sure Kukuyan didn’t see this situation himself.

In the second half, it was easier for Kukuyan, because after Zenit’s second goal, the game calmed down a bit. There are less violations, martial arts game. But closer to the 80th minute, the degree of the game increased again and yellow cards appeared, rightly issued by the referee. Pavel coped with the work, let the teams play. We often talk about refereeing when there is some kind of negative, but it’s also great to note the good work of the whole refereeing team,” Nikolaev said on After Football with Georgy Cherdantsev on .
