There's no point in going back to it. As I said, I'm not very confident about this episode, and even with the best intentions, it would have been difficult for the referee to keep track of everything in that chaos. After the match, the overall impression was of poor refereeing, and analyzing individual moments won't change that, although perhaps many people simply want Zenit to advance. Be that as it may, everything will be decided in St. Petersburg, and that's not such a bad thing. Good luck, guys!

Let's move on.

I also wish St. Petersburg good luck.

P.S. If I understand correctly, you follow Ukrainian football, and maybe you even watch matches of the Ukrainian national team. I was just reminded of the Ukraine - Croatia match in Kyiv in 1997. If anyone watched it, they'll remember the outrageous behavior of the referee against the "yellow-blue" team. But can anyone remember a time when a club (or national team) from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc., was given such preferential treatment? My memory doesn't recall anything like that.

You understood correctly, and I also keep an eye on English, Italian, and Spanish football, as well as our northern neighbors:D

I remember it perfectly (I was at the stadium); now "Pedersen" is a household name.

Yes, I don't remember anything like that either.

But for me personally, the epitome of refereeing outrage, when a referee practically killed a team that was two levels above its opponent, was the 1/8 final of the World Cup (2002) between South Korea and Spain.

And the entire tournament, from a refereeing perspective, was a complete disaster. I can't remember such poor refereeing at any World Cup or European Championship. And I've seen quite a few (starting with the 1986 World Cup).
