The Arbitrators Committee of the Football Federation of Ukraine disassembled the controversial episodes of the match of the 29th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Zarei and Veres (1: 0).
In the match of the 29th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Zarey and Veres, the referee showed a red card to Vladimir Adamyuk for a foul against Artem Gromov.
The FFU Arbitrators Committee analyzed this and other controversial episodes of the game.
6 minutes. The referee does not notice a serious game violation, because it is far from the events - a quick counterattack. Player # 3 hosts the "scissors" reception, clutching the face of a soccer player No. 95 guests, who, having a clear advantage, then continues to run many meters before stopping and notice damage to the face. The situation was not noticed, but if she was seen, it would lead to an immediate stoppage of the game with the appointment of a free-kick in favor of the guests and a red card to the player # 3 of the hosts.
We give, in particular, what is provided for this case by the provisions of the Game Rules:.
Definition of a "dangerous game" "A dangerous game is any action with the aim of taking possession of the ball, threatening injury to anyone (including the player himself). Opponent is afraid to play because of the threat of injury. A kick with scissors is permitted provided that it is considered safe for an opponent ".
Let's pose the question, considering the provisions of Rule 12: "What decision should the referee take if the football player in the fight for the ball kicks the opponent without having a real opportunity to play ball and jeopardizing the latter's health?".
Answer: penalty or 11-meter strike and removal.
48 minutes. The referee correctly continued the game in the episode, which took place in the penalty area of ??the hosts. The video confirms that it is the attacker, the player of number 53, who detains for the football shirt of football player No. 5, commits a violation, and not vice versa.
50 minutes. A correct assessment of the situation with a breakdown of the obvious chances is in full accordance with the new IFAB interpretations. Player 28 of the hosts during the single-handed counterattack takes an optimal position in the center, controls the ball, next to him there are no other players who would be able to intervene when the football player No. 3, unable to play the ball, plays directly at the feet, thus neither legs, nor a ball, and it breaks an obvious chances possibility. Penalty + red card is correct.
FFU CA sent a clip of this episode to FIFA instructors and to the UEFA Arbitrators Committee for their assessment of the episode and received an official response by e-mail, which is literally reproduced below:.
"The interpretation is correct. There are all signs of failure of the obvious scoring opportunity: direction, distance, ball control (the attacker touches the ball), and the number of team players who are protected and are nearby. Some may object that the defender played the ball, but you can not play ball, strike at the opponent's legs. The arbitrator managed very well (figured out) and controlled the situation. Thanks to his calm, he makes his own decision even more ".
Veres head coach Andrei Demchenko called the removal of Adamuk unreasonable and stated that they would write a complaint.
