Radimov: If Makhachkala scored, it would have been a big controversy

Former midfielder Vladislav Radimov commented on the refereeing during the match between Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Makhachkala in the first round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In his opinion, the red-and-white team's fans consider the decisions of chief referee Vasiliy Kazartsev to be unfair, while fans of other teams do not share this view. According to Radimov, the refereeing errors that occurred during this match did not affect the outcome.

If the Makhachkala team had scored at the end of the game, a major controversy could have arisen. He also assessed the Makhachkala team as one of the teams that have weakened this season and have a high probability of falling to the bottom of the league.

The game ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Spartak. Kazartsev did not count four goals scored against the Makhachkala goal.

The Spartak team also appealed to the Ethics and Sports Commission regarding three penalty decisions that should have been made.
