Ukraine’s head coach was furious about the incident in the injury time: ‘For me, there are no doubts, it was a clear foul. I guess it’s not up for me to decide anyway.’
Anyone expecting harsh and outspoken protests from Ukraine’s coach, Serhij Rebrov, will be disappointed. It’s not in line with his character to raise his voice and shout, despite the contact between Cristante and Mudryk in the Azzurri’s penalty area in the 93rd minute leaving more than one doubt.
