Rodrigo Roquette reacted on social media to Sporting's victory against Famalicão (1-0), criticizing Benfica and Porto fans who questioned the refereeing of the match. The commentator posted two distinct messages, one focused on the disallowed goal for the Minho team and another on the overall analysis of the match.
R. Roquette: "I understand the desperation, feeding a false narrative and the script with just one corner is pathetic…”
In the first tweet, he lashed out against the interpretation made by rival sectors: “All the newspapers (including the official pamphlet of the cheaters) say that the foul is clear and the goal was rightly disallowed. This shows the blindness and dishonesty of so many people. I understand the desperation, feeding a false narrative and the script with just one corner is pathetic…”, can be read on the social network 'X'.
In a second post, the Sporting fan considered that the result reflected what happened on the field: “Difficult victory, but totally deserved. It was a good football match until Famalicão gave up playing to focus on anti-football. In the end, the only team that never gave up on winning prevailed.”
Finally, Rodrigo Roquette gave individual praises and pointed out an incident he believes should have been sanctioned in favor of Sporting, specifically a penalty: “Luís Guilherme and Bragança did well! Another penalty should have been awarded for a foul on Mangas!”
Also in the analysis of the match's refereeing, Pedro Henriques assessed the disallowed goal incident for the Minho team at 8 minutes, which, in his opinion, leaves no room for dispute, as Maxi Araújo is knocked down by the opponent (Learn more HERE).
