Benfica have posted a social media video challenging referee Miguel Nogueira over eight incidents from the Clássico at Estádio do Dragão, which Porto won 3-1. According to Glorioso 1904, the club argue several calls should have gone differently.
The first clip, at five minutes, shows Gabri Veiga stepping on Alexander Bah. The video then revisits first half moments, including a foul by Alberto Costa on João Palhinha.
Porto's right back reappears in a collision with Gianluca Prestianni, who was left bleeding. Benfica also highlight a push by Jakub Kiwior on Bah and a foul by William Gomes on Prestianni.
After the break, three more incidents are flagged, including an alleged penalty by Kiwior on Rafa Silva. The club dispute a later infraction given against Palhinha and, in stoppage time, point to Samu, the Spanish forward, provoking Bah, for which they sought a disciplinary sanction.
The upload lands amid fierce debate about the officiating of the fixture. Porto responded on their official channels with the message “Coisas normais”, the word “estranhas” struck through, a nod to Francesco Farioli’s remarks before and after the game.
Asked by Sport TV about the refereeing, the Porto coach replied briefly that there were no strange things today. The phrase drew fresh attention after Marco Silva was pressed on Clément Lenglet’s first half dismissal.
