Yukhim Hemp fouls the Vlasny penalty maidan at the moment of fighting with Sholoy.

In the central match of the 11th round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Donetsk Shakhtar defeated Dynamo Kiev with a score of 3:1, which, as usual, did not pass without super-exciting moments, including the work of the team of referees on.

Zokrem, one of the main points discussed was the non-award of a penalty in the other half on the White-Blues' score for a foul by Girniki defender Yukhim Konoplya against winger Kiyan Sholi. The Committee of Referees of the Ukrainian Football Association has recognized the decision to pardon.

“At the hour of fighting for the ball in the penalty area, Gravec No. 16 Dynamo successfully moved the ball and was able to continue the fight, otherwise carelessly attacking the defender No. 26 Shakhtar.

The head referee, while being close to the episode, without taking an optimal look around, would rather fully appreciate the moment. As a result, we did not record the violation of the rules and allowed the game to continue.

As with video replays, just one angle from behind the gate gives a fair picture of the episode again. The VAR referees had a small view of the referee, but did not give him a look on the field. This could provide the referee with additional information to make the correct decision before awarding a penalty, even if such an action of the referee falls under the charge of a foul, which is punishable by a penalty..

The decision of the VAR referee, the committee of referees respects the mercy and calls on the VAR referees in such situations to recommend that the head referee review the episode,” comments the UAF referee committee.

It is stated that the UAF Ethics Committee is conducting an investigation into this issue.
