Frustrated: Oleg Blokhin complains about the goal that never was

Blokhin took his rage into the press conference where he offered a Ukrainian reporter to step outside for a ‘man conversation’.

‘The ball crossed the line by over a metre,’ said the Ukraine manager. ‘There are five refs on the pitch and the ball was over the line. Why do we need five refs then?’

Devic said: ‘If I’m honest, I didn’t see it at the time. But it was a big game, and it’s very sad. I think everyone in the stadium would like to have seen what would’ve happened if it had been 1-1 with not long to go.’
