"Kirowskaya match's penalty decision: 'No Significant Contact Made'"
CSKA Moscow find themselves in the midst of a contentious moment in the Russian Premier League (RPL) after a handball decision led to a penalty being awarded against them in a recent match.
Defender Daniil Krugovoy shared his thoughts about the incident, which occurred during a match against an unspecified opponent. The penalty, scored by Alexander Sobolev, resulted in a draw (1:1) for the opposing team.
Krugovoy maintains that he did not touch Gustavo Mantuan during the incident. However, after watching replays, he acknowledged a slight touch with the studs, but insists it was not enough to cause a fall. He believes Mantuan fell on his own when the ball was going away.
The defender did not want to directly criticize the referees, but noted the frequent whistles for minor contacts. He cited an episode with Wendel and Kislakov as an example of a non-foul that was whistled.
Despite the controversy, CSKA is determined to move forward. Their next match is against Rubin Kazan at the home "VTB Arena" on August 9. This presents a good opportunity for CSKA to improve their current 7th place standing in the RFPL, having earned 5 points so far.
No disciplinary actions or fines were mentioned for CSKA in the given context. The location of the match between CSKA and Rubin Kazan is the "VTB Arena" in Moscow.
As the season progresses, CSKA will look to put this incident behind them and focus on securing victories to climb up the RPL standings.
Bookmakers are likely to consider the upcoming football match between CSKA Moscow and Rubin Kazan at the "VTB Arena" in Moscow, given the recent contentious handball decision that affected CSKA's result in the RPL. The outcome of this incident may influence the odds for CSKA, as they aim to recover from a 1:1 draw and improve their current 7th place standing in the league.
