"In my opinion, it's 100% penalty, because the opponent grabbed my shoulder. And the referee at half-time told me the same thing, so it`s 100% penalty. Could I have held on? Probably, but I was jumping and trying to reach for the ball, and the opponent tackled me. I felt a hand on me, pulled me down and I fell down. The referee saw that and awarded a penalty," said Nazarenko.
