Why did not stop play immediately? Such appeal already filed the Russian Football Union. They think that after the first minute of the match Russia-Montenegro fans have thrown in our goalkeeper Fire, it was necessary to deduct opponent forfeited. Especially because, as it became known, were thrown on the field, not only fireworks but also something more serious.
A Scandal in Podgorica – instead of goals scored and spectacular game. But the fireworks exploded and flew sharp objects. At first, not even minutes – seconds of the meeting Russians goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev falls on the lawn, and the crowd Montenegrin fans threw firecrackers at him.
An amateur video shows as a fan lights a Fire and throws it towards the goal. Direct hit – the head the Russian goalkeeper. As if aiming for sure: Akinfeev take away from the field and immediately sent to the hospital.
Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov said: “Everyone expected that this match is of fundamental importance for the tournament Russia and Montenegro. I do not could imagine that the match may be derailed because of the blatant bullying in the stands. Especially because in my opinion, we have very good relations with Montenegro, excellent relationship between people “.
Referee Deniz Aytekin the game stops, the players gone to podtribunnogo room and UEFA delegates who are present at the match, begin to consult. It is unclear whether to renew the meeting, which, in fact, did not even have time to start. Unplanned timeout delayed. As a result, the green light to the continuation gives himself Michel Platini. After 35 minutes, the team back on the field, instead of Akinfeev in goal Yuri Lodygin. Police at this time strengthens cordons in the stands. But the fans are not appeased – arrange brawl around flying bottles, lighters, coins and even fragments of seats. With some difficulty, but the first time still see out.
Before the start of the second half, the referee warns another similar trick – and the game stops. Montenegrins have enough patience for exactly 22 minutes. At the gate of owners appoint a penalty. At the ball Roman Shirokov, but to realize the 11-meter our captain can not: Just before impact it distract laser beams. Another thing falls a few inches from the defender Russians Dmitry Kombarova this knife. After this match is completed ahead of schedule. Torn fight for apologies head coach Branko Brnović Montenegrins.
The football expert Andrei Chevichenko said: “I think that’s supposed to end in defeat technical team of Montenegro, because the behavior of fans without limit. In principle, it should have ended in the first minute, when Akinfeev hit, but unfortunately. attitude to our team is not the same as England, France or Spain, because this is what happened with the teams of these countries, then I think everyone would immediately stopped. And in this case it was necessary to wait for a second hit in our player to the match was stopped “.
On Saturday morning, the Russian team returned home. At the airport, appeared together with Igor Akinfeev, and later in Novogorsk conducted training in which the injured goalkeeper, of course, did not participate. He said that he feels better, but the assurances of doctors, it could result in a much more pitiable.
The team doctor said: “Early this morning, Igor is back with the team to Moscow, because the state of health allows you to do . All life-threatening pathology we are still in Montenegro during the survey excluded, he is now in Moscow under the supervision of club doctors. His condition is stable, there is no threat to life. The diagnosis – a concussion and neck first-degree burn. It can be said that he was very much lucky. Hit Fire two to three centimeters above, it could result in a much more sad. He could pivot. And if hit in the face, then everything would be much sadder “.
A few days later Akinfeev returns to training . After a bad match in UEFA opened a disciplinary investigation. Russian Football Union has sent a protest to the organization, and the head of the Ministry of Sport Mutko said, on which a decision may depend on the outcome of the match: “It is very important that the judge will record and match delegate in the protocol. This is the key! If he writes that now we have all seen – that sustained injuries that player safety was threatened, she was threatened, then, in principle, should be clearly forfeited the host team. And plus there are already questions disqualification stadium or a fine. It’s another thing. Football Federation will submit a protest to the judge’s ruling continue the game after the incident with Akinfeev, and it will be applied to the case. And these all the documents we have next week in the UEFA will consider “.
So, what sanctions await Montenegrins, in general, of course. Fans who began to stall the match, the police had already arrested. Likely to be credited with the team and forfeited. And, sure, the next few games the team of Montenegro will hold at the empty stands.
In the European press meeting in Podgorica called a disaster and disgrace. In fact, his reputation tarnished football Balkans is not the first time. UEFA promises to announce a decision on the outcome of the match on Monday. But even if the replay takes place, it is unlikely he will be held in the Balkans.
