This is how the head of the College of Football Referees, Sergei Zuev, commented on this: “We carefully reviewed all the episodes of the match in which, according to representatives of Shinnik, Doroshenko made mistakes.

We agreed with a number of complaints from the Yaroslavl team: indeed, the second yellow card for Djordjevic, which led to his removal, was unfounded, since this moment was preceded by an unchecked offside for Welliton.

I am confident in Vitaly’s qualifications and do not believe that he should be severely punished because of one unsuccessful match.” As a result, it was decided to remove Doroshenko from refereeing the next match between Terek and Amkar.

Another scandal occurred a year later, within the framework of the 2009 Russian Football Championship, after the match “Siberia” - “Anzhi” (1:2).

In addition, the Anzhi administration wrote a letter to the PFL, which states that “from the 20th minute until the end of the match, the Sibir players insulted the Anzhi players with obscene language.” According to Siberia General Director Lev Strelkov, the game and the events around it received a very big response.
