The Committee of Referees of the Ukrainian Football Association explained the interpretation of individual game episodes of the matches 18th and 19th rounds of Vbet Ukrainian Cup Round of XNUMX Leagues-2023/2024.

18 round

«LNZ"-"Kryvbas". Referee - Anastasia Romanyuk. AA — Oleksandr Omelchenko.

41 minutes.

Explanation: after a corner kick, the "LNZ" defender plays the ball with his hand. It is almost impossible for the referee to see this play with his hand and therefore the intervention of the FAA is correct. The 11-meter shot is aimed correctly.

51 minutes.

Explanation: the referee, having a good position, does not record an obvious reckless foul by player #10 of the "LNZ" team. The offender should have received a warning.

Referees are reminded that being in such a good position, they have to make the right decisions on the pitch and that protecting the safety of the players remains one of their main responsibilities!

"Dnipro-1" - "Pass". Referee - Oleksandr Kalonov. AA — Dmytro Bondarenko.

47 min.

Explanation: the hand of the "Minaya" defender first moves towards the ball and he tries to remove it already after contact with the ball. It is almost impossible for the referee to see this play with his hand and therefore the intervention of the FAA is correct. The 11-meter shot is aimed correctly.

«Zorya"-"Vorskla". Referee - Oleksandr Sandor. AA — Dmytro Panchyshyn.

65 minutes.

Explanation: player #27 of "Vorskli" makes a strong unfair contact with the opponent's leg from behind with the spikes of his boot, which clearly threatens the opponent's safety. The arbitrator does not determine the seriousness of the violation. The WAA correctly recommends a PNP (on-field review), after which the referee correctly sends off the offender for a flagrant foul. We remind you that when the referees are in a good position, they must make the right decisions directly on the field.

19 round

«Mynai"-"Metalist 1925". Referee - Roman Blavatsky. AA — Anastasia Romanyuk.

5 minutes.

Explanation: player #20 "Metalista 1925" makes a strong unfair contact with the opponent with his straight leg, which clearly threatens the safety of the opponent. The arbitrator is unable to determine the seriousness of the violation and only warns the violator. The violator should have been shown a red card. Unfortunately, the VAA does not intervene and does not recommend PNP (field inspection).

59 minutes.

Explanation: removal of player #10 "Metalista 1925" for illegal actions with hands (second yellow card) is the correct decision of the referee.

«Oleksandriya"-"Zorya". Referee - Oleksiy Derevinskyi.

55 minutes.

Explanation: the referee, having a good position, does not record an obvious careless foul by No. 44 "Zorya". The offender should have received a warning.

Referees are reminded that being in such a good position, they have to make the right decisions on the pitch and that protecting the safety of the players remains one of their main responsibilities!

The yellow card for undisciplined behavior to the representative of "Alexandria" is shown correctly - such behavior of a team official is unacceptable.

72 minutes.

Explanation: sending off player #55 "Zorya" for illegal actions with hands/elbows (second yellow card) is the correct decision of the referee.

«Polissya"-"LNZ". Referee - Oleksandr Omelchenko.

90 + 1 min

Explanation: the yellow card for undisciplined behavior to the representative of "LNZ" is shown correctly - such behavior of a team official is unacceptable.

«Shakhtar"-"Kryvbas". Referee - Mykola Balakin. AA — Denis Shurman.

22 minutes.

Explanation: the players of the Shakhtar team quickly played a free kick and scored a goal in the goal of the opponent team. The rules of the game do not prohibit it, but, on the contrary, it is allowed. We draw the attention of the referees to a clearer application of methodological recommendations regarding the management of penalty kicks.

55 minutes.

Explanation: player #23 of "Kryvbas" uses the spikes of his boot to make strong unfair contact with the opponent's leg from behind, which clearly threatens the opponent's safety. The arbitrator is unable to determine the seriousness of the violation and only warns the violator. The WAA correctly recommends a PNP (on-field review), after which the referee correctly sends off the offender for a flagrant foul. We remind you that when the referees are in a good position, they must make the right decisions right on the field.
