Football commentator and blogger Vasily Utkin telegraph channel He ironically commented on the work of the referees of the match between Zenit and Dynamo in the quarter-final match of the Road of Regions of the Russian Cup.
“There is a phrase – to sit on two chairs. It is often used in relation to judges. Somehow it is necessary not only to please both sides directly, but also … to admit that after the results of the Zenit-Dynamo match in the Cup of Russia, the referee in the Comfortka Arena has only one seat. And liquid,” wrote Utkin.
If you remember, yesterday’s Zenit-Dynamo match referee Yevhen Kukulyak decided not to give a penalty after watching VAR. Zenit midfielder Claudinho, who suddenly fouled, hit Dynamo forward Konstantin Tyukavin in the leg while trying to hit the ball from outside the penalty area and fell onto the grass.
After this incident, the general manager of the Moscow club Pavel Pivovarov suggested that Yevgeny Kukulyak be sent to a polygraph, especially since there is already such a practice in Russian football.
The Expert Referee Commission of the Russian Football Union (ESK RFU) has decided to dismiss Kukulyak from the Russian Premier League (RPL).
Formerly Zarema Salikhova statedthat the refereeing system in Russian football does not work properly.
