Former FIFA arbitrator commented on the penalty in the match "Veres" - "Minai"

Former FIFA referee Oleg Orekhov assessed the episode with the appointment of a penalty in the match of the championship of Ukraine "Veres" - "Minai".

"Players and coaches have their own thoughts regarding the vision of this or that episode. When they are the protagonists of the duel, everything is done for the benefit of their teams. Of course, they will defend their interests. In this case, the issue is that Minaya player Chuev's hand was off to the side, in an unusual position. And the ball from a short distance hits his hand. That is, the player's jump in this episode in technical terms was such that his hand was, let's say, in a non-physiological position.

There were his uncoordinated actions. And we are talking about a technical defect, not a technical offence. The ball hit his hand - and the referee decided to award a penalty. There are recommendations, which every year can change or remain. Yes, such decisions are never perceived, because some people think that eleven-metre penalties should be awarded only when a player of the attacking team has had both legs ripped off in the penalty area.

Let me put it this way: all yellow cards, red cards and penalties are awarded and take place with the disagreement of coaches and players. Their vision is completely different than the referee's vision. The footballer should create, and the referee in the spirit of the rules of the game to stop any offence. And they, as we know, can be different - intentional, accidental, etc.," Orekhov said.
