''Felt more supported in the field from the very first seconds when I was only shown the red card. It especially touched me, in the next match with Lokomotiv Moscow, the whole team came in T-shirts with my picture, and the stands were banners in my support. But most of all I liked the fact that we won that game,'' Emenike said.
Spartak Moscow had appealed the decision of referee Vladimir Kazmenko to red-card Emmanuel Emenike, but it was rubber-stamped by the Ethics Committee of the RFU.
