The match took place on Saturday, CSKA scored three goals in the match from the penalty spot. Khashig on Sunday criticized the work of the chief referee of the match, Sergei Ivanov, hinted at his bias and said that the club was ready to turn to law enforcement agencies.

– Of course, I was surprised by such a statement of Krasnodar. Basically, football is a sport. It would be wrong to bring it into the framework of law enforcement agencies. And here betting rates and Ivanov? Does he assign these quotes? It turns out that there are experts in the bookmakers who evaluate the real strength of the teams. And in their opinion, including mine, CSKA was the favorite in this match. And what numbers to put up is their purely personal matter. The referee team has nothing to do with betting cases. This is 200%. If Krasnodar’s strength is assessed this way, then this is only his problem, and not the refereeing team.

Let the general director of Krasnodar ask his players why they violated the rules inside their own penalty area three times during one match and whether this is somehow related to betting.

– Khashig claims that there was no first penalty. In his opinion, at first there was a dive by CSKA forward Fedor Chalov.

How many people, so many opinions. Khashig thinks so, the refereeing team – otherwise. The expert and judicial commission will issue a verdict whether it was 11 meters or not. I can’t add anything else, RB Sport quotes Vilkov.

Krasnodar with 17 points is on the third line in the WORLD RPL table, CSKA is in 2nd place (20).
