Ural coach Yuran plans FSB appeal over refereeing

Ural coach Sergei Yuran said the club planned to approach Russia's Federal Security Service after a 2–1 defeat by Nizhny Novgorod in the First League.

Yuran criticised the officials at his post-match press conference, Sport-Express reported. He said a Ural player had received successive yellow cards for talking.

He also challenged a decision on who had last touched the ball before it went out of play. Yuran maintained that a Nizhny Novgorod player had touched it last and that Ural should have been awarded a corner.

After the round 14 match, Ural sit sixth in the First League with 25 points. Nizhny Novgorod lead the table on 37 points.
