Pedro Henriques admits: Missed card in Sporting v Alverca clash | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Alverca 2-0 in the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Pedro Henriques pointed out a yellow card that was not shown to the Ribatejo team, just 10 minutes into the match, in an incident that injured Iván Fresneda.

"Foul and yellow card. A negligent sliding tackle that warranted a direct free kick and a yellow card, which the referee did not award. Cedric Nuozzi hit Iván Fresneda's right ankle squarely. The incident occurred at the edge, lateral, of the area," he said to the newspaper A Bola.

Despite the early mistake, Pedro Henriques gave a positive review of the refereeing conducted by António Nobre: "The few fouls in the game, only nineteen; the effective playing time, 65%, well above the average of our League."

With the victory – the 12th in 16 matches this season – Rui Borges' team occupies the first place, albeit temporarily. Sporting has 25 points in 10 games played, equaling Porto, which has one less match. Benfica (21) completes the podium.
