Sochi President Boris Rothenberg dissatisfied with the refereeing in the match with CSKA.
At the 68th minute of the game of the 3rd round of the group stage of the Fonbet Cup of Russia (1:2), the forward “Sochi” Vladyslav Sarvely fell in the penalty area of the army team, colliding with Willian Rocha. Chief Arbiter Alexey Sukhoi first appointed a penalty, but following a hint from the assistants, I watched the replay on VAR and canceled the 11-meter one.
“The game is good, I liked it. But the referee did not put a 100% penalty on CSKA. In judo, this is called “cutting”, our player Sarveli covered the ball with his body, and the CSKA footballer cut it.
This is a pure penalty, and the referee watched this moment ten times. What was he looking at? What for? Absolutely incomprehensible to me!” Rotenberg said
