Armenia's captain Sargis Hovsepyan said the penalty against Armenia was awarded erroneously in EURO 2012 Armenia vs. Russia qualifier

“It was a hurtful defeat, since we were the first to score a goal. It is always hurtful to suffer a defeat in such situations. As for the awarded penalty, we already saw the video recording, and it is evident that I did not violate the rules. We are not in the worst mood. It could have been better, if we celebrated victory in the match. But anyway, Russia is the favorite in our group,” RIA Novosti quoted Hovsepyan as saying.

Russia celebrated 3:1 victory over Armenia in a EURO 2012 qualifier in Saint Petersburg. Russia's third goal was scored due to the awarded penalty.
