MOSCOW, Mar 13, Pavel Levkovich. Spartak Moscow defender Georgy Jikia said refereeing in the Russian Football Championship match with Krasnodar was terrible. Spartak lost 1:2 to Krasnodar in Moscow on Sunday. In the course of the meeting, the refereeing team led by Evgeny Kukulyak canceled two goals of the Muscovites: in the case of the first ball, Zelimkhan Bakaev scored after offside Shamar Nicholson, then Nicholson scored himself, but played with his hand. «There was rage in the locker room because we lost. None «There was no underestimation of the opponent. I was on the field, but I was not where they watch VAR. The refereeing is terrible, although I don't like to comment on it. Today the referee didn't care, there were double standards, I think. I can't say about the situation with Ionov when he was playing for time at the end, but when the team is playing for time in the end, this is part of the game. The refereeing was terrible,» Jikia said. He also spoke about the progress in the team's game. “We lost this match, but we look more stable in terms of the game. It’s always a shame to lose like this, making ridiculous mistakes. I hope it doesn’t happen again in the future. Spartak wants to stabilize. Now we will analyze the mistakes, we will prepare for the game with Nizhny Novgorod «It takes time to become a team,» Jikia added.
