Drkushich criticized Barkon for missing the penalty

Vanya Drkushich, defender of Saint Petersburg's "Zenit" team, commented on the penalty awarded in the final minutes of the fifth round match of the Russian championship against Moscow's "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He emphasized that the situation in the game was very emotional. The team fought for the entire 90 minutes, but there was a risk of conceding a goal in the final moments.

If the Argentine midfielder Ezequiel Barko had taken the penalty, it would have been very unfortunate, the player said in an interview with the "Match TV" channel. The match took place at the "Lukoil Arena" stadium and ended in a 2:2 draw.

In the final minutes of the game, the "red-white" team had the opportunity to earn three points, but Barko failed to convert the penalty kick. This event once again demonstrated the strong rivalry between the teams and the importance of the match.
