“If Babich had gotten into Markov’s nose with his foot size, there would have been nothing left there” – Shavlo
Former general director of Spartak Sergei Shavlo commented on the removal of red-white defender Srdjan Babic in the 13th round match of the MIR RPL with Fakel.
The meeting in Voronezh ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the hosts. In the middle of the second half, Babich received a second warning for kicking Evgeniy Markov in the head, Bezborodov communicated with the referee on VAR. An 11-meter kick was awarded, which Markov himself converted.
— I still have doubts about the awarded penalty against Maksimenko. Judging by the picture shown, Babich still did not touch Markov’s face with his foot. Think for yourself: if he had hit Evgeniy’s nose with his foot size, there would have been nothing left there. It’s a shame that the moment was shown on television from only one angle, there was no side view at all,” RT quotes Shavlo as saying.
