Ukraine's Olympic goalkeeper Kyrylo Fesyun commented on the scandalous episode in the match against Iraq.

- "The referee was a little too hasty. If there was a fight for the ball, there would be no question, but it flew over his head. You can give such penalties at every corner - you just whistle and say that someone touched someone.
We played well in the first half, but after the first goal we lost concentration. When I took the penalty, I couldn't stand the pause, so he converted. It could have been saved," vZbirna quoted the goalkeeper as saying.
