Rodrigo Roquette reacted on social media to the Sporting victory over Famalicão (1-0), leaving criticism directed at Benfica and Porto fans who questioned the refereeing of the match. The commentator published two separate messages, one focused on the disallowed goal for the Minho side and another on the overall analysis of the match.
R. Roquette: "I understand the desperation, but to feed a false narrative and the script just over a corner kick is pathetic…”
In the first tweet, he took issue with the interpretation made by rival supporters: “All the newspapers (including the official pamphlet of the cheaters) say the foul is clear and the goal was rightly disallowed. This shows the blindness and dishonesty of so many people. I understand the desperation, but to feed a false narrative and the script just over a corner kick is pathetic…”, you can read on the social network 'X'.
In a second post, the Sporting fan considered that the result reflected what happened on the pitch: “A tough win, but totally deserved. It was a good football match, until Famalicão gave up playing to focus on time-wasting. In the end, the only team that never gave up on winning came out on top.”
R. Roquette: "There was another penalty not called on Mangas!”
Finally, Rodrigo Roquette gave individual praise and pointed out an incident he believes should have been sanctioned in Sporting’s favor, namely a penalty: “Luís Guilherme and Bragança did well! There was another penalty not called on Mangas!”.
Also in the analysis of the refereeing, Pedro Henriques evaluated the disallowed goal for the Minho side at 8 minutes, which in his opinion leaves no room for debate, since Maxi Araújo is brought down by the opponent (Find out more HERE).
