Armenia coach Vardan Minasyan has said that the unjust sending off keeper Roman Berezovsky was the reason for his team’s defeat in the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier against Ireland on October 11.

“Before Berezovsky was sent off, the team played as we planned and were in possession. 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.
