Refereeing in Sporting v FC Porto gets top marks

The Arbitration Council (CA) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) considered the performance of the team led by João Gonçalves in the Sporting-FC Porto match, corresponding to the fourth round of the League, as "very satisfactory." The assessments related to the round played before the break for the national teams were released this Friday.

Meanwhile, the video refereeing of the classic, led by Rui Costa with Paulo Brás as assistant, received a "satisfactory" rating. In this round, there were also two evaluations of "very satisfactory" and two of "unsatisfactory," with the latter being the lowest grade given to the refereeing teams.
