How Sergey Karasev judged the matches of Spartak and Lokomotiv

The topic of refereeing “Spartak” is one of the hottest in Russian post-quarantine football. The red and white balls were canceled, and ambiguous, and sometimes fictitious, penalties were put at their goal. The apogee was the match against Sochi, after which the owner of Spartak Leonid Fedun threatened to withdraw from the championship.

After that, “Spartak” was judged exactly – in the game with “Akhmat” referee Turbin handed out 9 yellows to Grozny players and sent off one (“Spartak” sat down on two yellow cards), and against “Ufa” in favor of “Spartak” they were awarded a penalty. But Larsson failed to realize it.

The match “Spartak” – “Lokomotiv” will be a big test for the referees. The team will be headed by Sergey Karasev, perhaps the most prestigious referee in our football. However, Fedun also had complaints against him. Let’s remember the history of Karasev’s relationship with Loko and Spartak. And also remembered the scandals associated with him in the derby.

How I judged head-to-head matches

Lokomotiv – Spartak – 0: 2, May 13, 2012

In the final round of the RPL, Karasev worked as it should – on business he handed out yellow cards and did not interfere in the course of the game. Thanks to goals from Suha and Dziuba, Spartak won without much effort in the first half.

Spartak – Lokomotiv – 0: 0, March 13, 2013

The game ended without goals scored and in general was as viscous as possible. Karasev, even with an abundance of fouls, was in no hurry to go into his pocket for cards and sat on the yellow cards only in case of gross fouls. Well, except for the situation with Dziuba, who grabbed a yellow card for excessive arguments with the referee.

Spartak – Lokomotiv – 2: 1, December 2, 2018

The last and most scandalous derby between Spartak and Loko involving Karasev. By the 67th minute, the red and white were confidently leading 2: 0, but Karasev assigned a penalty to Spartak’s goal and sent Rasskazov off for handball.

Only after the game, Rasskazov said that he had not played with his hand, and Spartak soon presented proof – a shot from the edge, where it is clear that the ball hit Nikolai in the head, and not in the hand. Rasskazov’s red card was canceled. Well, Smolov failed to convert that penalty and Spartak eventually won 2: 1.

Spartak’s claims

Karasev is probably the most hated judge in the RPL by Leonid Fedun. It all started back in 2011, in the same match with CSKA, in which Welliton crashed into Akinfeev, after which Igor received a break in the crosses. Karasev didn’t show Welliton the red one, but still Fedun unleashed his anger on the referee because he “whistled in one direction”.

I understand that you can miss something – touching the ball with your hand, for example – but you can’t fail to notice fouls against one of the teams all the time! I don’t remember such refereeing since the gangster 90s! I will do everything so that Karasev no longer works as the chief arbiter

Leonid Fedun

Of course, no one was going to fire Karasev. Moreover, he was appointed to the next derby, which again ended in a scandal. Karasev appointed two penalties against Spartak (for the sake of fairness, in the case), but still got a “failure” due to the fact that he did not remove Sergei Ignashevich in the second half. After the final whistle, Karpin flew up to the referee, who began to express something to him in a harsh manner, for which he was disqualified for three games.

The referee very competently broke the game in favor of our rivals when the score was 2: 0. At the meeting of the RFU Executive Committee, I will pose a fundamental question: either we will invite independent judges, or let us write “steering wheel” – 0: 3. We refuse to play with such a judging system. The abscess must be cut off

Leonid Fedun

But Fedun’s funniest complaint came after the defeat to Dynamo in the first round of the 2010 Russian Championship. The game was judged by Karasev and after the match Fedun said that “the referee’s qualifications do not correspond to the level of the match, and he should have removed Sheshukov earlier.” If anything, Sheshukov then played for Spartak.

Lokomotiv’s claims

In 2017, after the game against CSKA (2: 2), Loko had fair claims to Karasev, who served the match. The referee did not send off Wernbloom for the elbow blow by Alexei Miranchuk, and then didn’t send off Vasin for a last resort foul. Although he appointed a penalty to the gates of the army team. There was no loud howl on the topic of refereeing, but the FTC admitted that Karasev made serious mistakes in that game.

Probably, Karasev’s candidacy is the most optimal one for the big derby at the moment. This is the most trusted and experienced person in the judiciary. If he does not cope with suing Spartak’s match without a scandal, the continuation of the great drama Spartak and the referee will surely await us. “
