Sochi striker Sergio Cordova spoke about the poisoning of the team before the match of the 21st round of the RPL with Akhmat (0:1) in Grozny.

“It is unusual for seven players to have food poisoning before such an important match. Interestingly, they all ate the same thing. Could this be a coincidence? — Venezuelan Cordoba wrote on social networks.

Shortly before the start of the meeting, Sochi head coach Robert Moreno said that 14 players and 5 staff members felt unwell after lunch. According to Moreno, the club was not allowed to reschedule the game. As the coach noted, the players still entered the field, and some of them had to be changed because they were sick.
