Speaking later in the UPL TV studio after the match, Dynamo’s head coach expressed his opinion about the unawarded penalty in Shakhtar’s box.
– In the episode with Shola (Ogundana) it was a clear penalty. And that’s already the second time something like this has happened to my team. When we played against Zorya there was an obvious penalty that wasn’t given, and now again – in Shakhtar’s box. I’m sorry but I don’t understand what we’re trying to achieve or what the refereeing department is working on…
Several people from the refereeing community have already called me and confirmed that it was indeed a penalty. The game would have been completely different if it had been awarded. We conceded the last goal on a counterattack because we were taking risks, going all-out in attack. But the refereeing – it’s just complete arbitrariness.
