The committee of referees of the Ukrainian Football Association explained the interpretation of the game episode in the 44th minute of the match of the 7th round of the championship of Ukraine "Rukh" (Lviv) - "Dnipro-1" (Dnipro), which took place on October 16.
Nicola Rizzoli"Player No. 29 of FC "Rukh" has no intention of playing to get possession of the ball, and deliberately interferes with only one goal - to create an obstacle with his own body. He did not play the ball, but only touched it, and at the same time he prevented the progress of player No. 11 of FC Dnipro-1, standing in the path of the latter's movement. The 11-meter kick was correctly called," Nikola Rizzoli, the chief arbitration expert of the Ukrainian Football Association, commented on the episode.
