"Dnipro 1 commented on the controversial, in the club's opinion, moments of the match of the 28th round of the Ukrainian championship against Vorskla (1:2). Let us remind you that Yaroslav Kozyk was the main referee of the game.

After an ambiguous penalty-kick in Dnipro-1's goal, it seemed that a play with hands (put aside, moving towards the ball) in Vorskla's penalty box must be assessed by the referee. But Kozyk never waited for an invitation to the monitor (according to the procedure he himself cannot request a review). Possibly, Aranovskiy, the main VAR watched the replays for so long, because he was recalling his loss of membership in the regional federation. I wonder if they will take him back now?
...And let's compare. Adamiuk blocks the first shot - a penalty was awarded by VAR; Tanczyk first played the ball - a yellow card; but where was a free-kick or at least a corner in the episode with Gutsulyak? The moments are essentially similar - the referee's decisions are opposite, and all in favour of one team. Coincidence? And you can find a lot more episodes like that in this match. Such decisions make the players very nervous, especially in super important games. And the calculation came true. Those who know and feel will understand, but for the rest of us who live in our own world it's difficult to prove anything...
And let us remember. Sarapiy, in the match in Alexandria, was "caught" with a yellow card - disqualification for the game against Dynamo. And now an even more audaciously knocked out of the game by another main central defender (Svatok complained without scolding about a wrongly awarded touch), and again before a key match. Coincidence again?
It's a strange occurrence. One team sits on the opposing half of the pitch all match, but by the 85th minute only they receive a caution (there were 6 cards to the players and one to the head coach). A bold attempt to kill the main intrigue in the championship took place at Avangard. Unfortunately, it almost failed. "Almost" - so no matter what, we promise to do our best in the next round to revive it," the club said in a post on Instagram.
