Famous Ukrainian coach Vladimir Sharan assessed the level of refereeing in yesterday's match of the 11th round of the Ukrainian championship "Dynamo" - "Shakhtar" (1:1).
“It’s good that they did this, as the referee's territorial affiliation does not matter. Nikolai Balakin refereed fairly, allowing the teams to play.
As for the ejection, it is absolutely justified. Krysykiv jumped from behind into the opponent's leg. I do not understand the player: how could one act that way in a situation that was happening in the center of the field? Therefore the red card is quite deserved,” commented Sharan.
