The wedding ring prevented the Sochi footballer Zaika from replacing in the match with Zenit
Sochi football player Kirill Zaika was prevented from coming on as a substitute in the match with Zenit by an engagement ring. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
The meeting was held at the Sochi arena and ended with the score 1:1. The defender was supposed to enter the field in the 80th minute, but the reserve referee did not allow him with a ring on his hand. It was not possible to remove the decoration, so Zaika remained on the bench. Later, “Match TV” became aware that the cause of the hitch was a broken finger. The athlete is about to undergo surgery.
Earlier on May 27, Zenit played a draw with Sochi in the 29th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL). Artur Yusupov scored against the Sochi team, and Gustavo Mantua scored among St. Petersburg players.
After 29 matches, the Sochi residents are in tenth place in the Russian Championship standings with 38 points. “Zenith” ahead of schedule became the champion of the country. At the moment, the team has 67 points.
