The midfielder of Kovalivka's "Kolosi" Vladyslav Veletien, summarizing the match on Saturday against Lviv's "Karpaty" (1:1) in the 3rd round of the Ukrainian championship, commented on the dismissal of his team's midfielder Arinaldo Rrapai in the 34th minute of the match.
“We reviewed this episode because there was an air raid alert. I couldn’t even imagine that a red card could be issued for this. How can you play soccer, a contact sport, if a person is going for the ball?
Yes, maybe there was some contact, I do not argue. But, first of all, he is going for the ball — and not with his studs, but with his foot. And giving a red card for this — well, that’s… I believe it’s not just like that. And this dismissal spoiled the entire game,” Veletien said on the YouTube channel of "Kolosi".
