Former Russian FIFA referee Sergey Lapochkin commented on a situation during the match between CSKA and Lokomotiv in the first round of the Russian Cup group stage. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
During the match, Lokomotiv's captain Dmitriy Barinov lightly kicked rival player Kirill Glebov. According to Sergey Lapochkin, although this action was made in jest, such jokes are inappropriate on the field.
He advised players to be cautious on the field and to refrain from such actions. He emphasized that in such situations, the referee might show a yellow card.
At the end of the game, CSKA won with a score of 2:1. Milan Gayich, Kirill Glebov, and Aleksiy Batrakov from a penalty scored the goals in the match.
This result was of significant importance for CSKA. In Lapochkin's opinion, athletes should always remember to maintain standards of behavior on the field.
In such situations, it is important to clearly define the boundaries of humor and the game.
