The ex-CSKA player thinks that coach Fedotov will receive both a disqualification and a fine, but there is nothing to punish Abaskal for

Former CSKA defender Vladimir Ponomarev believes that the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union (FTC RFU) will disqualify army chief coach Vladimir Fedotov for a skirmish with Spartak coach Guillermo Abascal.

We are talking about the incident at the derby as part of the 13th round of the MIR RPL. The clubs met on Sunday and drew 2:2. After the game, a video appeared showing a verbal skirmish between Fedotov and Abaskal on the edge of the field during a break in the match. The head of the FTC RFU Artur Grigoryants told Match TV that both coaches were invited to a meeting of the FTC following the results of this game, their behavior will be considered. According to article 94 of part 6 of the disciplinary regulations of the RFU, the perpetrator of offensive behavior may be disqualified for a period of two to four matches, and the FTC may impose a fine on the coach in the amount of 50 thousand rubles.

– They can, of course, disqualify Fedotov for a couple of games. What does Abascal have to do with it? Well, he jumped, waved his arms, but did not insult Fedotov. Abaskal, I think, everything will work out, and Fedotov, I repeat, can be disqualified for a couple of matches. And I think there will be a penalty. You shouldn’t have reacted so harshly. It was not a very good act on his part,” Ponomarev told Match TV.
