FPF slams refereeing in Benfica match: Unsatisfactory | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation rated Hélder Carvalho’s performance as “Unsatisfactory” in the recent Liga Portugal Betclic match between Benfica and Arouca, which took place at Estádio da Luz.

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation recently revealed the assessments made of the refereeing teams during the 10th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. Only two matches received negative evaluations, one of which was the Benfica - Arouca game, where Hélder Carvalho’s performance was considered “Unsatisfactory.”

On the other hand, the Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation also released the scores given to the referees who served as VAR in the same round. In this area, Luís Ferreira received a “Very Satisfactory” rating, thus balancing the accounts between the two referees of the Benfica - Arouca match.

It should be noted, first of all, that the match held at Estádio da Luz ended in a resounding victory for the home team. In one of José Mourinho’s best games of the season so far, Benfica hosted and defeated Arouca, with a final score of 5-0.

However, the match was marked by several refereeing incidents that raised some doubts. The match referee failed to award two clear penalties in favor of Benfica, which were eventually given, but only after the intervention of the VAR.
