MOSCOW, Aug 28 Akhmat head coach Yuri Nagaytsev said that The chief referee of the match of the seventh round of the Russian Football Championship with the Samara «Wings of the Soviets» made a mistake by removing the player from Grozny. The meeting, held in Grozny, ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the guests. From the 30th minute, Akhmat played in the minority, goalkeeper Mikhail Oparin received a red card. A team of referees headed by Anton Frolov worked at the match. «I believe that the game was divided into two parts: before the removal and after the removal. I think that the referee made a mistake. And VAR made a mistake. Our goalkeeper played the ball cleanly. We looked — on repeat it is clear that he is playing the ball, and the opponent's player, on the contrary, roughly crashes into him. This key mistake, of course, affected the result, «Nagaytsev said at the post-match press conference, the video of which was published on the Akhmat website.» But even with ten of us we played well. The guys did a great job, gave themselves completely to the game, created chances. We are satisfied with the game, but not with the result,» the coach added.
