The club appealed to the expert referee commission under the President of the RFU due to disagreement with a number of decisions made by the chief referee of the match in Yaroslavl.

We believe that the referee Igor Panin misjudged the game situation in the 16th minute, not assigning a penalty kick to the Shinnik goal for Igor Leontiev’s handball in the penalty area, which seriously affected the final result of the meeting. Panin also ignored several violations of the rules that are punishable by a yellow card, namely: episodes in the 12th minute with a handball by Artyom Kulishev, in the 45th minute with an elbow strike by an opponent and in the 49th minute with a deliberate disruption of the attack – with the participation of Roman Emelyanov.

This is not the first appeal of our club to the expert refereeing commission this season. We would like to see the controversial refereeing of Akron not become a trend. The club counts on an objective assessment of the decisions of the refereeing team of the match.
