The former deputy head of the Refereeing Department, Jouni Hytia, commented on the offside position of CSKA midfielder Jorge Carrascal at the end of the match of the fifth round of the WORLD RPL against Zenit (1:2).
The meeting was held in St. Petersburg and ended with the score 2:1 in favor of the hosts. At the end of the second half, Nikita Ermakov sent the ball into the Blue-White-Blues’ goal from Carrascal’s pass, but the goal was canceled due to the Colombian’s offside position.
– It’s hard to say, we need a better picture from a more correct angle. The available images are taken from behind the backs of the players. In this episode, you need to refer to VAR. Video referees in Russia no longer see offside lines? Well, it’s very sad, ”RB Sport quotes Hyutia as saying.
