More than 32,000 people have joined the Viktor Kassai dislike group in Facebook dedicated to the Hungarian football referee Viktor Kassai, who officiated at the Euro 2012 match between England and Ukraine on June 19 and did not award the goal scored by Ukraine's Marko Devic in the middle of the second half.
The group was created back in November 2011. On November 11, 2011 Kassai officiated at the Euro 2012 elimination round play-off match between Estonia and Ireland (0-4), during which he sent off two Estonian players and assigned a penalty to the Irish team. After the match, the referee was accused of judging in favour of Ireland.
As reported, in the 63rd minute of the England-Ukraine match, when the score was 1-0 in favour of England, Ukraine’s forward Artem Milevsky led his team mate Marko Devic into a shooting position and the latter skilfully passed an English defender and shot, but English defender John Terry kicked the ball out of the net, although it could be seen on the video recording that the ball crossed the goal line. Officiating referee Viktor Kassai decided not to award the goal.
As a result, England defeated Ukraine 1-0 and Ukraine was kicked out of the championship.
