Amar Dedic incident fires up Gil Vicente v Benfica, surprise reaction | OneFootball

In Benfica's victory over Gil Vicente (2-1), a tense moment occurred. At the 45th minute of the first half, César Peixoto showed his dissatisfaction with Amar Dedić, who started the match, for taking too long to execute a throw-in.

The coach of the Minho team told Benfica’s full-back to hurry up, a gesture that immediately sparked a heated exchange near the technical area. Several members from both teams quickly approached to prevent the situation from escalating.

Amid the confusion, words were exchanged and visible tension arose near the benches. The one who ended up penalized was Leandro Morais, Gil Vicente’s assistant coach, who was shown a red card and sent off before halftime, putting an end to the commotion.

José Mourinho was closely watching the situation unfold. The coach of the Eagles reacted in a curious way: he remained seated on the bench, observing everything without getting up, a stance that contrasted with the commotion around him and he placed his finger on the side of his head.

This season, playing for Benfica, Amar Dedic – valued at 15 million euros – has already played a total of 35 official matches: 16 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 2,998 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number "17" has recorded one goal and three assists.
