Rostov sports director Alexey Ryskin was unhappy with the referee in the Russian Cup match against Khimki near Moscow. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“The refereeing was good for 55-60 minutes. There were some mistakes, but in general the points were interpreted the same way and the referee did not interfere with the teams’ play. I don’t understand what happened next. The referee cannot be happy with the quality of the last 30 minutes. Do I understand the dismissal of Karpin and Onopko? Strange interpretations of the episodes angered Karpin and Onopko. The result was dismissal,” Ryskin said.
On April 2, “Rostov” beat “Khimki” in the penalty shootout and reached the semi-finals of the Russian Cup Road to Regions. The regular time of the match ended 0-0. After the final whistle, the main referee of the match, Alexey Sukhoi, expelled Valery Karpin and Viktor Onopko for their speeches.
