Metalist's management reacted to Obolon's statement regarding poor refereeing in a face-to-face meeting.

"

I appeal to the leadership of the Ukrainian Football Association and the Professional Football League not to ignore these words.

After our game with the Alliance, the Lipova Dolina club made a lot of statements about biased refereeing, that they were withdrawn from the championship, spoke about some kind of rape.

Another club complained about rape today.

The actions of the referee of the Alliance - Metalist match were found to be 100% correct, and unfounded accusations and attempts at blackmail were ignored.

Today Obolon occupies the same position as the Alliance.

I am asking you to strictly suppress attempts to discredit FC Metalist. I recommend that the management of Obolon and Alliance football clubs take deserved defeats with dignity, and not blame the judges, rape, etc.. "

Let us remind you that earlier the Alliance from Lipova Valley almost withdrew from the First League after the match with Metalist.
