A meeting of the commission of judicial experts was held under the chairman RFSwhere the decision on the referee’s arbitration has been made Alexey Sukhoi in the match of the 6th round RPL between Zenit and Torpedo (2: 0). This was reported by the press service of the organization.

Department of Jury RFS appealed to the commission with a request for evaluation of the work of referee Alexei Sukhoi in the episode with the Torpedo goal in the 87th minute of the match.

Commission decision:

The referee mistakenly counted a goal scored by the Torpedo team in the 87th minute of the match.

The ESC’s decision is motivated by the fact that in this borderline episode, the actions of the Zenit n. 10 Malcolm, before scoring the ball into the opponent’s goal in single combat with the player of the defending team. Torpedo n. 4 Oleg Kozhemyakin, according to most members of the commission, was punishable and was beyond the scope of a real fight, as he made contact with the legs and pushed the opponent to the rear, in connection with which the commission considers that the referee should have canceled the goal and awarded a free kick in favor of the defending team of the Torpedo.
