Ukrainian defender "Los Angeles" Artem Smolyakov spoke about the incident with the Russian flag in the stands.
“At the 60th minute of the match, I saw the Russian flag and was stunned. I even thought of approaching after the game and saying, ‘Bring the flag here so it’s not there.’ However, I decided not to spoil the celebration for the team. Later, this fan wrote to me, apologized, and said it wouldn’t happen again,” — quoted Smolyakov by the Telegram channel “Vzbіrnа”.
Let’s remind, the incident occurred during the celebration of "Los Angeles" victory over "America" in the club championship world play-in.
