Myroslav Stupar, a well-known referee in the past, spoke about the Ukrainian championship match between Dynamo and Dnipro-1 (0:1).

- There were no moments to discuss during the entire match. Good, technical teams played. There were no fighters with a rough character that would lead to confrontation in the background of the game. Kopiyevsky recorded what he could, but the moment in the 32nd minute when Dynamo scored a goal and it was not counted because there was a whistle before the goal. That is, Kopiyevsky found some kind of violation on Dynamo's part, but no one knows what it was.

He went to watch the VAR and assigned an offside position, which could not be recorded because the game was stopped. It is not at all clear how, when the game was stopped, the referee makes a decision in "dead time"? Kopiyevsky was simply in a hurry to blow his whistle. There was no noticeable push from the Kyiv player, and he manoeuvred himself out of the offside position, which was already after the whistle, indicating that the game had been stopped.

Kopiyevsky also gave a lot of yellow cards. Sometimes fairly, sometimes not. For example, Benito had just entered the football field and received a yellow card for an appeal. And he was right, because Svatok really pulled him by the shirt.

We can say that Viktor Kopiyevsky refereed the game more or less normally, letting the players fight and play because there was no "notch". The game was principled, but within the rules. Where there was a violation, he stopped it, unlike his international match, which he did not officiate well," Stupar said.

    Этой бестолковой фиксацией и ещё более бездарным петлянием с ВАА для оправдания этого эпизода, Копиевский лишь подтвердил насколько судьи могут "использовать" ВАА для оправдания своих судейских преступлений.
