A terrible incident occurred in the match of the 12th round of the First League between "Prikarpatye" and PFC "Sumy".

On the 60th minute of the fight, the defender of the hosts, Nikolay Kvasny, went to a hard tackle. The player played so rudely that at first it even seemed that the rival could even get involved with football. Owing to these actions, the chief arbiter rather expectedly showed the offender a red card, while the victim himself managed to continue the meeting.

However, later Kvasnoy apologized to his opponent on his Instagram page.

“I want to apologize to the player of PFK Sumy Pereverze Peter, for his act in his direction! We are not strangers and have known each other for many years, and this is what I did in no way justifies me before responsibility or action in his side!.

Yes, football is football, but just such actions are not needed by football and do not paint me in the first place, also I thank God that everything went without injuries and big consequences! knowing myself, I myself cannot believe in it that I was found to have such an action, just as many people, knowing me, cannot understand it, and what is the matter in general! So once again I want to apologize! ", - wrote Kvass.

Interestingly, the victim himself does not hold any harm to his abuser.. Here is what he wrote in the comments under the message Kvasnogo.

"In football, everything happens. I do not hold on you evil. Yes, we know each other for a long time, played in the same team and even lived together. I'm alright. Do not listen to anyone who would not tell you. All is well! ".

The game itself ended in a draw with a score of 1: 1.
