Pavel Kamantsev, head of the refereeing office of the Russian Football Union (RFU), made statements regarding the punishment of Yevgeny Kukulyak, the referee of the match played between Zenit and Dynamo in the Russian Cup.
“In the section where Tyukavi fell, a penalty should have been given without seeing a yellow card. VAR correctly called Evgeny Kukulyak to the monitor, but accidentally did not change its original decision.
