The UAF SCC fined Obolon for the late start of the match of the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship. This was reported by journalist Volodymyr Zverov.
"Last Monday, Obolon and Chornomorets played. Denys Dykyi, a soldier, Hero of Ukraine, struck the first shot at the ball.
The match started 3 minutes later than the scheduled 15.30 because:
- "Chornomorets was delayed in leaving the dressing room for 2 minutes"
- "the pre-match activities did not include time for a symbolic kick-off, which shifted the start of the game by 1 minute"
The theses are in quotes because, according to my information, this is what UAF delegate Yuriy Nestryga wrote in the report. On the basis of the report, the SCC has already fined the clubs money (small, in fact, tears), but that's not the point.
The bottom line is that Obolon did write in the pre-match rider that there should be a symbolic kick on the ball at 15.30. Question: on what basis did the delegate fine the Kyiv team?
Think about it. A man who, through his dedication, gives us the opportunity to play and watch football, comes to the game. He is applauded by 1000+ people. The host club officially warns about this. The delegate writes that they did not warn him.
Obolon was charged 3 thousand hryvnias. I told you, it was a penny. So I sincerely don't understand what all this is about," Zverov wrote on his Telegram channel.
