Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan and Akhmat defender Ousmane Ndong have reached a settlement following a conflict during a match. The Russian Football Union's Control and Disciplinary Committee fined Spertsyan 150,000 rubles.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," during the October 5 match, a conflict occurred between Akhmat defender Ousmane Ndong and Krasnodar captain Eduard Spertsyan. A Chechen club accused a Krasnodar player of racially insulting Ndong. The Kuban team's captain denies the accusation, claiming he was the one insulted.

Russian Premier League (RPL) President Alexander Alayev announced on October 19 that the conflict between Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan and Akhmat defender Ousmane Ndong had ended in reconciliation, TASS reports.

According to Alayev, a video conference was held between the players. "They talked and made peace, shook hands remotely, and will definitely do so again when they meet. This is the most correct decision in this situation," the publication quotes him as saying.

Earlier, the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union fined Spertsyan 150,000 rubles for insulting Ndong. According to committee head Artur Grigoryants, Ndong's actions were provoked by Spertsyan, who uttered a phrase in Spanish. "However, this phrase did not contain any signs of racism or obscene language, but it was offensive in nature toward Ndong," he stated.

Furthermore, the KDS decided to uphold Ndong's red card for the incident with Spertsyan. Akhmat requested that it be taken into account that Ndong sent a letter of apology to the fans, noting that he bears no offense towards Spertsyan.

Previously, the "Caucasian Knot" reported that at the end of June, a friendly match between Makhachkala Dynamo and FC Krasnodar ended in a fight, in which the participants were issued five red cards. The commentator stated that such situations are typical of "matches between many Caucasian teams," which provoked the outrage of Dagestan's head, Sergei Melikov.

As a reminder, the Grozny football club "Akhmat" was founded in 1946, then known as "Dynamo." In 1948, the club changed its name to "Neftyanik," and in 1958, it was renamed "Terek." In 2017, Terek was named in honor of the first president of Chechnya, Akhmat Kadyrov, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Football Club Akhmat (Terek)".
