The game was spoiled by the person whose main task was to let teams define who plays better fairly.
Experts have noticed about half a dozed of challenged decisions rendered by referee Viktor Shvetsov. We’ll focus on one of them. 77 minutes into the match Shakhtar player Taison hit Andriy Yarmolenko’s leg purposefully, but it wasn’t noticed by Shvetsov and his assistants.
Dynamo skipper was substituted. Medical examination has shown how serious is his injury.
“Andriy has soft tissues injury, bruise and numerous grazes, groin concussion and rectus muscle hurt”, - informed Dynamo doctor Leonid Myronov.
On August 5 Andriy Yarmolenko had a medical examination.
- I’m sure that Taison injured me deliberately, - told Andriy.
- Did you realize that the injury is serious at once?
- I’ve never experienced such a sharp pain. Brazilians taped on each other’s head. No one apologized after the game.
- What do doctors say about your recovery?
- It’s difficult for me to walk at the moment. Doctors haven’t told anything yet.
P.S. According to ultrasonography it will take Andriy about two weeks to recover.
