Attention! Referee named for Vitória Guimarães v Benfica 👀 | OneFootball

After the matches of the 9th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the Refereeing Council of the FPF has already revealed the names of the referees who will be present in the matches of the round that will take place this weekend. Among those appointed is João Pinheiro, who will referee the match between Vitória de Guimarães and Benfica.

This is a new appointment for the AF Braga referee in matches involving the reds this season; recall that he had already officiated the match against Santa Clara, a draw at Luz, which marked the beginning of the end for Bruno Lage as head coach of the red and whites.

According to the newspaper Record, the remaining members of the refereeing team who will accompany João Pinheiro to Guimarães are also known. For the roles of assistant referees, the Refereeing Council chose Bruno Jesus and Kuciano Maia.

In the same press release, the body associated with the Portuguese Football Federation selected José Bessa to be the fourth official between the Vimaranenses and the reds. The responsibility for VAR will be with Rui Costa and Nuno Eiras, who will be the assistant.

Remember that the match is scheduled for this Saturday, November 1, at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. However, before the trip to Minho, the reds will host Tondela for the League Cup tomorrow, October 29. Check out José Mourinho's statements in the preview.
