Former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder and now a famous Ukrainian coach Serhiy Kovalets drew attention to the scandalous events in the match of the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship between Shakhtar Donetsk and Kryvyirogorsk Kryvbas (5:2) in the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship.
Sergey Kovalets"FIFA referee Nikolay Balakin, who judges European Cup matches, could comment on his actions in Sunday's Shakhtar vs Kryvbas game. There was a situation when, after Kryvyi Rih's player Dibango broke the rules, Donetian Zubkov found himself on the turf. And while Kryvbas players were watching the Cameroonian apologising, trying to pick him up, the Pitmen quickly played the ball and Kryskiv hit the goal.
By the way, in the same way, without waiting for the referee's whistle, the Donetsk team scored against Veres in the first round match in Rivne.
I would like the mentioned moment in the Shakhtar vs Kryvbas game to be competently assessed. If the referees, along with coaches and players, could answer journalists' questions about this or that episode in the same way, they would explain it in accordance with FIFA rules and explain what they envisage," Sport.ua quoted Kovalets as saying.
