Forward and captain of Luhansk "Zorya" Philipp Budkovskyi explained his reaction to the dismissal of Donetsk "Shakhtar" defender Alaa Grama in yesterday’s match against this team in the 28th round of the Ukrainian championship, which, let us remind you, ended in a nil draw.
Philip Budkivskyi. Photo — FC «Zorya»— Tell me, what was the conflict with Grama about?
— Well, nothing much. Yes, we pushed each other a bit. I got a yellow card and he did too, then, you see, he lost the ball, so it came out that he took it and got another yellow.
— So no one said any offensive words to anyone?
— No, nobody said anything bad to anyone.
— And why did you laugh so ironically after the dismissal?
— Well, I laughed because you see, it turned out very epic — provocation, yellow. Foul — another yellow, that’s why I laughed.
