“Many foreign fans of our club cannot understand how today's game could end with a score of 10: 1. We would like to explain. Six players of our club fell ill with coronavirus, and thus the whole team had to be isolated. Sochi FC rejected our offer to postpone the match, so young players aged 16-19 had to take part in this meeting. Most likely, it was a very sad result, but we want you to stay on our side! We think you will agree: our players fought for every inch of the field, each of them showed an incredible character! With this message we want to express our gratitude to all the supporters of our club around the world, ”the statement on the Rostov website said.
“Rostov”, having scored 38 points in 23 rounds, takes fourth place in the RPL standings, “Sochi” (27) - ninth.
Earlier, Eremenko said that he was outraged in the match Sochi - Rostov.
