During the game there were several controversial episodes that influenced the outcome of the match.

– Why didn’t he put a penalty kick at Spartak’s goal? What touch must be in order to put a penalty? Baseball bat to the head, right? This is where professionalism lies, this is a professional background on the part of the Spartak player, who slightly moved Miranchuk’s leg. This is a 100% penalty, let these judges, Turbin, Kazartsev, Ivanov, this no-name, answer why Miranchuk did not hit the ball and fell? What is there to watch? It’s just that people don’t understand refereeing.

As for the second moment with the second goal of Spartak, ask the same Ivanov, when in martial arts you can push and how to push a player who blocks access to the ball? Look at what is happening: Tiknizyan has the ball, the Spartak player pushes in the back with both hands, bringing him to his knees. The slightest violation against a defensive player must whistle, the principle of advantage cannot be in defense. This is the second one-hundred-percent foul, so he still didn’t see him on VAR, and he also has the FIFA emblem, ”Match TV quotes Khusainov.

In the first match, Spartak won with a score of 1:0 and advanced to the next stage by the sum of the meetings.
