Defender of Kyiv "Dynamo" Vladyslav Dubinchak commented on the events that led to his ejection from the field in the Europa League match against Ferencváros in the "Profootball Digital" broadcast.
Vladyslav Dubinchak (photo: Yu. Yuriev)— When I jumped into the tackle, I thought that the opponent was reaching for the ball and would cross it. I tried to jump parallel to the ball, but since he let the ball pass out of play and ran a bit further, my jump landed on his foot. It happened accidentally, as I didn’t even want to make contact with him, but since he didn’t reach for the ball, I ended up getting him on the foot.
After the referee approached him, I immediately understood: it was a red card, because I felt that my foot was above his ankle.
I let the team down, left them with ten men. I understand this was a crucial moment; at such a moment, one cannot let the team down. I want to apologize to the fans once again, the result is fully on me, — said the Dynamo player.
