Hélder Carvalho under fire after Benfica match | OneFootball

Hélder Carvalho received an "unsatisfactory" grade for his work in the Benfica - Arouca match, a recent fixture in Liga Portugal Betclic. The Refereeing Council of the Portuguese Football Federation recently revealed the grades given to referees for that matchday.

The Refereeing Council of the Portuguese Football Federation recently disclosed the evaluations made of the refereeing teams during the 10th matchday of Liga Portugal Betclic. Only two matches received negative evaluations, one of which was the Benfica - Arouca game, where Hélder Carvalho's performance was deemed "Unsatisfactory".

On the other hand, the Refereeing Council of the Portuguese Football Federation also released the grades given to referees who served as VAR in the same round. In this area, Luís Ferreira received a "Very Satisfactory" grade, thus balancing the accounts between the two referees of the Benfica - Arouca match.

It should be noted, first of all, that the match held at Estádio da Luz ended in a resounding victory for the home team. In one of José Mourinho's best games of the season so far, Benfica hosted and defeated Arouca, with a final score of 5-0.

However, the match was marked by several refereeing decisions that left some doubts. The referee did not award two clear penalties in favor of Benfica, which were eventually given, but only after intervention from the match's VAR.
