Akhmat’s former coach, Igor Shalimov, commented on the incident that occurred during the match between Sochi and Zenit on Saturday.
“I probably ate it in a week, my finger was swollen because I couldn’t take it out. Or they just didn’t pay much attention. I think the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the RFU (FTC) should do this. I don’t think he took off the ring before the last matches, but now he decided not to, ”reports Shalimov. “Match TV”.
10 minutes before the end of the match, the Sochi team made a substitution and wanted to leave Kirill Zaika on the field. However, the change could not be made due to the defender’s wedding ring. The reserve referee forbade the player from entering the field with the jewellery, but did not remove the ring. As a result, Sochi players left their substitutes behind, and Zaika did not appear on the field.
The match between the teams ended in a draw with a score of 1-1. The goals were scored by Artur Yusupov and Gustavo Mantuan.
Sochi, which has 38 points with one round before the end of the championship, is in the 10th place in the ranking.
