The controversy centers on a red card shown to CSKA Moscow midfielder Ivan Oblyakov, which was subsequently overturned after a review.\n\nThe incident occurred during the Path of Regions Fonbet Russian Cup final. Referee Kirill Levnikov initially brandished a red card for what appeared to be a dangerous tackle. However, VAR official Karasev instructed Levnikov to consult the pitchside monitor, leading to the card's rescission.\n\nKachigaou expressed his bewilderment at the reversal. He maintained that the initial decision was correct, describing the challenge as a clear red-card offense. The Spartak official emphasized that the tackle involved studs making contact with an opponent's ankle, an action he believes warrants a sending-off in any football match, anywhere in the world.\n\n\"The referee made a good decision and showed the red card. It was a pure red,\" Kachigaou stated. \"I don't understand why Karasev called the referee to the screen to review this episode. I think each of us saw quite clearly the studs on Martins' ankle. This is a clear red in Moscow, Kathmandu, and even in the Andes!\"\n\nWhile acknowledging that referee Levnikov had a good game overall, Kachigaou's primary grievance was with the VAR's decision to intervene. He suggested that the incident was obvious to all observers, even those requiring corrective eyewear, and that repeated viewings would only confirm the severity of the foul.\n\nWhen asked directly if he believed Karasev was biased against Spartak Moscow, Kachigaou chose his words carefully. He refrained from making a direct accusation but pointed to a pattern of decisions he perceives as being against his club. He called for greater scrutiny of the specific incident in question.\n\nThe sporting director concluded by stating that the matter should be addressed by the Russian Football Union (RFU), indicating his club's formal concern over the standard of officiating in a major cup final.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Spartak Moscow's sporting director Francis Kachigaou criticizes VAR official Sergey Karasev for intervening to cancel Ivan Oblyakov's red card during the Russian Cup final, calling it a clear sending-off offense.","326257611726917632","Spartak Moscow","327569823661821953","326135645644787712","Cup","326904588986748928","Spartak Moscow vs CSKA Moscow","2026-05-06T20:09:15Z","spartak-director-slams-var-decision-to-overturn-red-card-in-russian-cup-final","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6458906-eto-krasnaya-v-moskve-katmandu-i-andah-kahigao-ob-otmenyonnoj-kartochke-oblyakova.html","326255039884562432","Vardar Skopje",[79,68,63,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],"326257698452541440","326257698578370560","326257703296962560","326257747320377344","326222707169431552","326257539962376192","326257613643714560","326257623760375808",[80,69,64,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98],"IFK Varnamo","Varbergs BoIS FC","Varnsdorf","Varzim","Anderlecht","Como","Hassania Agadir","FC Anyang","Spartak Director Slams VAR Decision to Overturn Red Card in Russian Cup Final",[101,116,133,148],{"awayTeamId":63,"awayTeamName":64,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":102,"homeTeamId":68,"homeTeamName":69,"id":103,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":73,"matchName":74,"publishedAt":104,"slug":105,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":106,"teamId":68,"teamName":69,"teamIds":107,"teamNames":111,"title":115},"CSKA's Kirill Danilov shares his emotions after the Russian Cup final against Spartak, discussing pre-match nerves and the team's performance in the 1-0 defeat.","328139599694008321","2026-05-08T09:53:19Z","cska-defender-danilov-reflects-on-cup-derby-loss-to-spartak","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6460634-danilov-podelilsya-emociyami-ot-igry-so-spartakom-v-kubke-rossii.html",[68,63,108,86,87,109,88,110],"326257808217477120","326257546392244224","326257722553012224",[69,64,112,95,96,113,97,114],"Derby","Nottingham Forest","Mokra Gora","CSKA Defender Danilov Reflects on Cup Derby Loss to Spartak",{"awayTeamId":63,"awayTeamName":64,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":117,"homeTeamId":68,"homeTeamName":69,"id":118,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":73,"matchName":74,"publishedAt":119,"slug":120,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":121,"teamId":68,"teamName":69,"teamIds":122,"teamNames":127,"title":132},"Krasnodar manager Murad Musaev praises his team's dramatic penalty shootout victory against Dynamo Moscow, calling it one of the most important matches in club history.

Few fixtures in Russian football carry the weight, passion, and sheer intensity of this storied rivalry, and a knockout cup setting only amplifies the drama.\n\nThis is far more than a simple cup tie. The Spartak-CSKA rivalry, often called the \"Main Derby\" of Russian football, stretches back decades to the Soviet era, when both clubs were dominant forces. Spartak, historically known as \"The People's Team,\" and CSKA, the army club, have contested some of the most heated encounters in the country's football history. Matches between these two regularly draw sell-out crowds and ignite fierce passions across Moscow and beyond. A cup elimination at the hands of their greatest rivals would be an unthinkable outcome for either side.\n\nTactically, this encounter promises fascinating subplots. Spartak will look to leverage home advantage at the Otkritie Arena, where the famous Fratria ultras create one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Eastern European football. Expect a high-pressing approach from the hosts, seeking to unsettle CSKA's build-up play early. CSKA, meanwhile, have traditionally thrived in cup competitions and will likely adopt a disciplined defensive structure before exploiting transitions with pace on the counter. The midfield battle will be crucial — controlling possession and tempo in the engine room could decide who advances.\n\nThe atmosphere will be electric. Moscow derbies are renowned for their choreographed displays, deafening chants, and an edge of tension that few other fixtures can match. Both sets of supporters will view this as a matter of pride, making the stands as much a battleground as the pitch itself.\n\nFans can expect a fiercely contested, emotionally charged ninety minutes — or more, should the tie require extra time and penalties. With a place in the next round of the Russian Cup at stake and bragging rights in Moscow hanging in the balance, neither team can afford to hold back. This is Russian football's fiercest rivalry under the unforgiving spotlight of knockout competition, and it promises to deliver every ounce of drama the occasion demands.",{"code":173,"id":68,"imagePath":174,"name":69,"slug":175},"HME","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.api-sports.io\u002Ffootball\u002Fteams\u002F558.png","spartak-moscow","2026-05-06T17:00:00Z",90,"ru-cup","spartak-moscow-vs-cska-moscow-2026-05-06","finished",[]]
