The incident occurred in the 68th minute when CSKA midfielder Ivan Oblyakov was initially shown a red card by match official Kirill Levnikov.\n\nHowever, after consulting the VAR monitor, Levnikov reversed his decision and downgraded the punishment. Former FIFA referee Igor Fedotov, who previously officiated in the Russian Premier League, provided expert analysis on this pivotal moment in the match.\n\nFedotov explained that from Levnikov's initial viewing angle, it appeared that Oblyakov's foot first made contact with Martins' shin before sliding downward. This visual impression led to the initial red card decision for what seemed like a dangerous high challenge.\n\nUpon reviewing the video footage, the VAR official correctly identified that the actual point of contact was lower than what the on-field referee perceived. Fedotov emphasized that this was a clear error by Levnikov in his initial assessment, making the VAR intervention both necessary and appropriate.\n\nThe former referee praised the decision-making process, noting that Levnikov made the right call after viewing the replay. The challenge was ultimately judged to warrant only a yellow card for stepping on the opponent, rather than the serious foul play that would have resulted in a sending off.\n\nAt the time of the incident, Spartak held a 1-0 advantage over their Moscow rivals. The match represents the final of the Fonbet Russian Cup's Regional Path competition, adding extra significance to every decision made by the officials.\n\nFedotov's assessment highlights the growing importance of VAR technology in modern football, particularly in high-profile matches where a single decision can dramatically alter the course of a cup final. The incident demonstrates how video review can correct on-field errors in real time.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former FIFA referee Igor Fedotov analyzes the VAR decision to cancel Ivan Oblyakov's red card during the Russian Cup final between Spartak and CSKA, calling it the correct call.","327546926444580865","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-06T18:43:33Z","ex-referee-fedotov-explains-why-oblyakov-s-red-card-was-correctly-overturned","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6458766-arbitr-fedotov-vyskazalsya-ob-otmenyonnom-udalenii-oblyakova-v-matche-spartak-cska.html","326255039884562432","Vardar Skopje",[74,77,78,79,80,81,82,83],"326257698452541440","326257698578370560","326257703296962560","326257747320377344","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257539962376192",[75,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"IFK Varnamo","Varbergs BoIS FC","Varnsdorf","Varzim","Anderlecht","Canada","Como","Ex-referee Fedotov explains why Oblyakov's red card was correctly overturned in Spartak vs CSKA cup final",[94,124,156,179],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":95,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":96,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":97,"slug":98,"sourceName":99,"sourceURL":100,"teamId":101,"teamName":102,"teamIds":103,"teamNames":113,"title":123},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
