Pedro Henriques follows the trend, also says Sporting were hard done by | OneFootball

Pedro Henriques analyzed the performance of the refereeing team in the match between Gil Vicente and Sporting, which ended in a draw (1-1). The expert mentions an irregular goal by the Minho team in the 87th minute, as Alisson Santos was fouled by Carlos Eduardo.

"Carlos Eduardo, by moving his right arm, hits Alisson Santos in the face with his elbow, who was behind him, and due to this attacking foul, fell and was prevented from contesting the ball. An irregular goal, which only the VAR with replays could overturn."

Nevertheless, Pedro Henriques states that the major error leading to the equalizing goal is the responsibility of the video assistant referee: "The VAR should have helped the referee with an attacking foul seen on TV, difficult for the referee, but easy with replays," he wrote in the newspaper 'A Bola'.

Jorge Faustino also analyzed the incidents of the match and, besides agreeing that the goal by the team led by César Peixoto should not have been validated, he also said that the incident involving Gonçalo Inácio did not deserve a red card. Thus, he even gave a negative rating to the referee's performance (Learn more HERE).
