Ex-FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev on the air of Match TV said that he did not notice the controversial episodes in the first half of the match of the 13th round of the WORLD RPL between Moscow CSKA and Spartak.

The meeting takes place on Sunday in Moscow at the VEB Arena. In the middle of the second half the score is equal – 2:2.

– I did not see any controversial episodes in terms of interpretation. Yes, there were interesting moments, including the fall of Sobolev. But I think there is nothing to disassemble, because we saw that the initiative with the fall came from the forward of Spartak. This is not a simulation, because there was contact. But I don’t see any violations on the part of the defender.

There was another interesting episode related to Promesu’s yellow card at the beginning of the match. I think it was more logical to call the referee to the monitor, so that there would be no questions that this episode went unpunished. If it was a hockey match, then the CSKA player would have received a yellow card for what kind of picture fall he then portrayed. I agree with the yellow card for Promes in this episode,” Nikolaev said on Match TV.

Spartak allowed Bongonda to leave the club for free

The Moscow football club “Spartak” gave permission Theo Bongonde leave the team for free during the winter transfer window. The journalist reported this on his page on the social network Sasha Tavolieri.

The player’s contract with Spartak expires in the summer of 2027.

It should be noted that several foreign clubs are interested in the player and have already sent requests for a free transfer.

Bongonda is 30 years old, joined Spartak in 2023 and played 74 official matches for the club, in which he scored 16 goals and provided 6 assists. The midfielder also played for the Spanish Cadiz and Celta, the Turkish Trabzonspor, the Belgians Genk and Zulte Waregem. As part of Genk in the 2020/21 season, Bongonda became the silver medalist of the Belgian championship and the winner of the national cup.

Did you name Germany? Kroos surprised by choice of World Cup favorite

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:

“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.

Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.

Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.

Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
