Faustino and Ferreira confirm Benfica’s controversial win vs Sporting | OneFootball

Last Friday, November 14, another Gala Rugidos de Leão took place. Frederico Varandas recalled that, in the 2019/20 season, Sporting lost at Luz in the 88th minute due to a poorly awarded corner in favor of Benfica. The reds boasted about the victory and now accuse the lions of having won three irregular points in the Azores, against Santa Clara, in a similar play. Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira had already confirmed the irregularity of the play in the derby.

"Eduardo Quaresma managed, with effort, to steal the ball from Vinicius. After clearing the ball, it still touched the left foot of the Benfica player. A goal kick should have been awarded," admitted Jorge Faustino, at the time of the events, to the newspaper Record.

Marco Ferreira made a similar judgment: "Ball dispute near the goal line with the ball being touched by the defender and bouncing off the forward. Difficult play to analyze for the assistant. Poorly awarded corner kick," he wrote.
