“The Shakhtar player, trying to fight with the opponent for the ball, is late and jumps with his right leg extended with studs into the Dynamo player. A strike with great force hits the shin and threatens the player's safety, while not having the opportunity to play the ball. The referee's decision to punish this dynamic violation with a red card is impeccable,” Rizzoli told the UAF.

It is worth mentioning that the CDC has suspended Dmytro Krytskyi for this foul for 2 matches.
