But you see, it's hard to play in the minority for a half and a half against a team that plays in the Champions League.
I don't want to say anything about the refereeing, but you can see for yourself. We have penalties - they interpret moments like that. There was Stepanenko, a yellow card, it could have been a different situation. But it is what it is.
The shot hit the crossbar - no replay (whether it crossed the line - approx.). And they always show a lot of them. Luck was not on our side," Ivashchenko said.
