Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira believe that Luís Godinho performed well in the match between Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães. In the cases analyzed, the experts consider that the referee had a good interpretation of the incidents during the Eagles' victory (3-0), pointing out that there was only one mistake involving Richard Ríos.

"Discreet, secure, and competent refereeing, in a game of low difficulty. Well assisted", Jorge Faustino began by saying, in statements to the newspaper Record, giving Luís Godinho a score of 4 for his performance at Estádio da Luz. Marco Ferreira, on the other hand, gave a rating of 3.

Moving on to the incidents, Marco Ferreira started by clearing Anatoliy Trubin in a dispute near the Eagles' goal: "Incident in Benfica's area with Trubin anticipating the opponents, with the subsequent contact being normal, no foul. Good decision".

However, Jorge Faustino, at another moment, believes that an infraction by the Eagles' number 20 went unpunished: "Richard Ríos caused a collision with Noah Saviolo, obstructing his progress with the ball. Infraction that went unpunished, with the corresponding direct free kick against Benfica".
