Yes, that was the height of injustice. I've been watching football for a long time, since the 1982 World Cup (I remember my t-shirt with an orange on it... :)). But it was against Spain that Korea played in the quarter-finals. In the round of 16, they also defeated Italy with the help of the referees.
That was a replay due to the size of the goal. After winning the away game, a draw would have been enough for Spartak, and they achieved it. Basel was upset. They were punished.
In the case of Lokomotiv, a replay was ordered due to a refereeing error, something related to Pimenov's dismissal. This was the first and, so far, only precedent where a match was replayed due to a refereeing error. Previously, we were told that this never happens. And how upset we all were, the guys, when in the round of 16 in Mexico, the referees ruined the brilliant Soviet team, which could have easily become a medalist at that time... But they said that matches are not replayed due to refereeing errors, and then... Kaiser intervened, and they replayed the match...
It was the best match in Nigmatullin's career and the best match for the referee who officiated matches involving domestic clubs and national teams.
P.S. Later, I saw some program with a player from that Belgian team, in which he admitted that the referee helped them and said that the Soviet team was the strongest at that tournament.
ДУРАКОВ ОЧЕНЬ МАЛО, НО ОНИ РАССТАВЛЕНЫ ТАК ГРАМОТНО, ЧТО ВСТРЕЧАЮТСЯ НА КАЖДОМ ШАГУ.
