ESK defended the controversial decisions in the Spartak-Dynamo match

The expert referee commission of the Russian Football Union evaluated five controversial situations that arose during the match between Spartak and Dynamo Makhachkala. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The commission found the referee Kazartsev's decisions to be correct in all five cases. Let's examine each situation in detail.

The first situation occurred in the 7th minute. In this case, a penalty was not awarded for Dynamo's goal.

According to experts, Azzi outpaced the opponent Um'yarov and reached the ball first. After that, his foot naturally made contact with the opponent's foot.

This contact was deemed "inseparable and unpunishable." The second situation occurred in the 25th minute.

Again, a penalty was not awarded for Dynamo's goal. Azzi gained his position over Mangash, then Mangash pushed the opponent.

For this reason, Azzi's hand touched the ball, which was deemed a violation in this attack. The third situation occurred in the 45+7th minute, where a goal scored against Dynamo was disallowed.

The Spartak player obstructed the goalkeeper's movement, which affected the goalkeeper's ability to play the ball. The fourth situation occurred in the 51st minute.

Here, a penalty was not awarded for Dynamo's goal, and Shumakhov was not sent off the field. According to the commission, Shumakhov's contact with Markinyos was weak and did not prevent the attacker from influencing the ball.

The fifth situation occurred in the 53rd minute. Azzi was sent off the field.

Experts overwhelmingly supported this decision. Azzi played in a dangerous manner, striking the opponent's leg with open studs and disregarding his safety.

Thus, all decisions of the expert referee commission were found to be in accordance with the rules of the game and fair. Referee Kazartsev made correct conclusions in all controversial situations.

The decisions in this match serve to ensure the transparent and fair conduct of the football game
