Referee Ivan Sidenkov made a mistake by showing a red card to the defender “Locomotive” Mark Mampassi in the match of the sixth round of the championship of Russia with “Khimki”this conclusion was made by the expert-judicial commission under the President of the RFU.
The meeting took place on Saturday in Khimki and ended with the score 3:0 in favor of the guests. Mampassi was sent off in the 40th minute for a foul once morest Khimki midfielder Reziuan Mirzov following the referee used the VAR system.
– The decision of the ESC is motivated by the fact that Mampassi, who made contact with the face of Mirzov, in the opinion of all members of the commission, deserved a warning for reckless behavior. In tactical terms, most members of the commission do not consider the violation of the rules by the Lokomotiv team player to deprive the opponent of a clear opportunity to score a goal, since the opponent did not have control of the ball. The defender, before committing a violation of the rules, managed to take a position between the attacker and the ball, and therefore the speed of the attacking player was reduced.
This potentially gave a great opportunity to enter into single combat with him to the defender’s partner Stanislav Magkeev, who is practically on the same line with the attacker in the axial part of the field. Given these circumstances, the commission believes that it was Mampassi who had the opportunity to control the ball in the development of the game episode, if not for the violation of the rules on his part. This is a key criterion not in favor of interpreting this violation of the rules as depriving the opponent of a clear opportunity to score a goal.
The commission also considered that referee Sergei Karasev mistakenly did not assign a 11-meter kick to CSKA at the end of the match with Akhmat (4:2).
– The decision of the ESC was motivated by the fact that, according to the majority of the commission members, a subtle contact of the ball with the hand of a player from the defending CSKA team Igor Diveev in his own penalty area, trying to block the flight of the ball, was punishable, since his far hand from the opponent was moved away from the body and made it larger, the report says.
According to the commission, referee Vladislav Bezborodov should have sent off Rostov midfielder Daniil Utkin in the 71st minute of the match with Sochi, since “the actions of this player in a duel with Sochi player Angban, according to the majority of the commission members, threatened the health of the opponent “.
“The tackle on his part was made at a fairly high speed, and the opponent’s leg was sandwiched between his legs, which provoked a movement to twist and break the leg, which resulted in a serious injury received by the Sochi player,” the text says.
Angban was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament of the knee.
In addition, the commission ruled that the referee Aleksey Sukhoi correctly did not assign a penalty to the Torpedo goal in the 52nd minute of the game with Zenit.
