Myroslav Stupar, a well-known referee in the past, spoke to 1927.kiev.ua about the Dynamo vs Obolon match (2-0).
Miroslav Stupar- It was expected that after the cup game there would be a "notch", but it didn't work out, because the removal at the beginning of the game made its own adjustments. There are no questions about Vovkun's red card. Then Obolon played with the idea of not conceding and scoring, if possible, but missed twice. As for the penalty, it seemed that there was a violation, but Kopiyevskyi missed the moment.
Only after watching VAR, when he was advised, he awarded an eleven-metre penalty. In general, imagine if VAR hadn't existed, and what would we be talking about? The referee didn't award a penalty. But yes, this system adds more objectivity to the refereeing and helps the referee when needed. Kopiyevsky has learnt to referee, but he is inattentive at the moment. This is not significant, but it is worth noting.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi has not lost a single game. Lucescu is probably biting his elbows now and thinking: why was I unlucky?" said Miroslav Ivanovych.
