Former defender of "Karpaty" Artem Fedetskyi spoke about whether there was a penalty in the episode of Eghinaldo — Palmer-Brown, when the American pushed the Brazilian in the penalty area during the qualification match of the Europa League between the "miners" and the Greek "Panathinaikos".
Artem Fedetskyi— I understand Turan’s emotions after the match. Yes, there was a push. But it’s not a foul that warrants a penalty at such a level. And the fact that Eghinaldo was injured in that episode is just a coincidence. The opponent did not play roughly.
In my opinion, the defender played to the end at that moment, trying by any means to impede, so to speak, the attacking player and prevent him from taking a shot. He, Palmer-Brown, did not intend to deliberately injure Eghinaldo. I think this is not the episode that needs to be discussed and raise a fuss about, — said Fedetskyi.
