Syomin: The penalty was the referee's mistake

Lokomotiv head coach Yuriy Syomin has summarized the game against Amkar (3:3) in Gameweek 24 of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Championship.

The game was spectacular, the teams scored six goals. Too bad we were winning 3:1 but let it go. There are several reasons to that. First, we lost Corluka, I cannot say how serious the injury is.

Then there is refereeing. The referee had to book an Amkar player for simulation and not awad him a penalty. Besides, I think the player was off-side when scoring the third goal. However, I have to point out Amkar's attitude. They didn't give up after conceding the third goal, and fielded three strikers instead.
