Former "Spartak" football player Valeriy Gladilin commented on the refereeing of the match between the "red-whites" and Makhachkala's "Dinamo" and evaluated the team's performance at the beginning of the season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, although the referees have just started the championship, they face criticism in every game. Referees, like players, are gradually adapting to the season, as they are ordinary people too.
In Gladilin's opinion, although "Spartak" has not achieved significant results, the three points gained are considered satisfactory for the club. The decisions of the chief referee Vasiliy Kazartsev sparked discussions.
In particular, he did not count four goals from the "red-whites." Additionally, despite two controversial situations involving fouls by Makhachkala players in the penalty area, Kazartsev did not award a penalty and did not make a decision in favor of the Moscow team.
These situations have led to various opinions among fans and experts. Overall, it is said that the refereeing at the beginning of the season is still in the process of improvement.
