Former FIFA referee Sergey Lapochkin from Russia evaluated the incident that occurred during the match between Moscow's "Spartak" and Makhachkala's "Dinamo". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the first half, referee Vasiliy Kazartsev did not award a penalty for the guests, as Muhammad Aziy touched Nail Umyarov's leg. Lapochkin emphasized that there was initially an attempt to play the ball, which is the most important aspect.
If a player first applies pressure to an opponent and then only touches the ball, this is considered a foul. He pointed out in an interview with "Match TV" that there are good replay angles showing Aziy carefully pushing the ball with his toes and then failing to find a place to put his foot.
In the 75th minute of the match, "Spartak" is leading 1:0 and playing with a numerical advantage. The match process can be followed through the text broadcast on the Liveresult website.
