Former FIFA referee Sergey Lapochkin shared his thoughts on the penalty awarded to Saint Petersburg's "Zenit" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The situation occurred during the fifth round of the Russian championship in the match against Moscow's "Spartak" team. According to Lapochkin, the penalty decision is not one hundred percent clear and raises many questions.

He stated that both players' legs were moving during the fight for the ball. Umyarov reached the ball first, and then there was only contact; there was no strike or clear foul play.

The penalty kick awarded in the 88th minute was saved by Zenit's goalkeeper Denis Adamov. Later, the goal scored by Barco was disallowed due to a double touch violation.

As a result, the match ended in a 2:2 draw. After this game, the Zenit team is in ninth place in the tournament table with 6 points.

"Spartak" is in twelfth place with 5 points. These results reflect the teams' situations in the season.
