Morten Hjulmand was furious with the referee of the match between Sporting and Braga. The Dane was the player who committed the foul that led to the penalty for the team from Minho, deep into stoppage time, which ended up sealing the result with a one-all draw.
According to information advanced by the newspaper Record, the 'number 42' of the lion emblem was very displeased with the decision of Cláudio Pereira, on two different occasions. As soon as the judge announced the decision of maximum punishment, the green and white captain was admonished with a yellow card for words.
On a second instance, Morten Hjulmand felt, again, the need to express his disagreement with the referee's decision after the final whistle. Even when the Sporting team did their usual lap of thanks to the fans, the 'number 42' was visibly frustrated.
The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portugal Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Capital do Móvel Stadium, at 8:15 pm.
