Rafael Soares slams Geny, Trincão, hails top Sporting starter | OneFootball

Rafael Soares analyzed the derby between Benfica and Sporting (1-1). On social media, the journalist pointed out flaws in Geny Catamo and Francisco Trincão, who "had the worst decision of the game", but cleared Luis Suárez from criticism, highlighting the Colombian forward as one of the best players on the Sporting side.

"It was one of the best goal opportunities in the derby. It doesn't appear in the highlights or statistics, but Trincão had the worst decision of the game by not seeing Morita," he began writing on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter), before mentioning that Richard Ríos stood out against Hidemasa Morita in the midfield battle.

"It always seemed like this was Ríos' type of game. He dominated the midfield. He outperformed Morita, set up Dedic for the 1-1, and executed one of the most dangerous shots in a play he started. He was also involved in a dangerous set-piece. Highlight of the season."

Rafael Soares also defended Luis Suárez but criticized Geny Catamo's performance: "Geny built an aura around the derbies as if he always scored and played well. Given the performance he was having and Quenda's discomfort, Alisson could have come in earlier. Suárez is not judged based on what his predecessor would do. He was one of the best for Sporting."

The green and white team will return to the field next Tuesday, December 9th, against Bayern Munich. The match, part of the sixth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Vincent Kompany, will be played at 5:45 PM at the Allianz Arena.
