But the red card changed everything,” lifesports.ru quoted Minasyan as saying. “I don’t think there will be a rematch but the referee’s decision drew a wide response, what is important.” The UEFA said it’s ready to consider the letter of the Football Federation of Armenia urging an investigation into the referee’s mistakes and possible rematch.
