At the same time, the main and most scandalous episode of the game took place in the 49th minute of the match. After a shot from the left flank into the Veres penalty area, the ball fell into the feet of the same Zubkov, who decided to take a touch, but hit the opposing defender Yevhen Shevchenko.

The referee of the match, Kateryna Monzul, saw a handball on the part of a Veres player and awarded a penalty. However, the replay clearly shows that the ball hit Shevchenko in the fifth spot. Surprisingly, the video assistance system (VAR), which was monitored by Vitaliy Romanov, confirmed the Kharkiv team's decision.

But the miracles in the work of the referees did not end there. Shot from the "point" Zubkov's shot was saved by the Veres goalkeeper, but Shakhtar forward Danylo Sikan made the save. However, the referees decided that the Ukrainian had run into the penalty area before the shot, and the goal was canceled.
