The functionary allowed this development of events due to bad weather. “We’ll see what the weather situation is like for the next round. We have the opportunity to move the matches to the spring part of the championship,” Alaev said.
Earlier, the head coach of Rostov and the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, criticized the holding of the match of the 17th round of the RPL against CSKA in heavy snow. The specialist called playing in such weather conditions the murder of football.
The match between CSKA and Rostov took place in Moscow on December 3. The meeting was in jeopardy due to the snowfall that covered the capital. Karpin advocated postponing the match to December 4, but the refereeing team decided to hold the game. The meeting ended in victory for the hosts with a score of 2:0. Fedor Chalov and Victor Mendez scored goals.
