Hugo Oliveira fumes over disallowed goal in Sporting v Famalicão | OneFootball

The disallowed goal by Ibrahima Ba in the match between Sporting and Famalicão (1-0) continues to be a talking point. Hugo Oliveira, coach of the Minho side, revisited the subject this Sunday during the press conference previewing the game against Casa Pia, with a pointed remark when commenting on the central defender's development.

"He is yet another example of the Famalicão project, the development of the player, contributing to the team and growing in his skills. A young man who works hard, who has strong characteristics for modern football, the ability to play with the ball, physical capacity, but he also has another trait that will take him far: a thirst for knowledge and to learn every day. He also benefits from having high-level teammates. This competition makes him grow," he began by saying.

The coach subtly recalled the match at Alvalade: "A 20-year-old boy, who wants to be a great player, wants to learn every day. Whoever wants to learn, will grow. That's what has been happening. He could have one more goal in his career, but he doesn't," he pointed out.

It should be remembered that in the match in question, one of the most controversial moments happened in the 8th minute, when the Minho side scored a goal that was ultimately disallowed by VAR. Despite Hugo Oliveira's criticism, the decision ended up being consensual among Jorge Coroado, José Leirós, and Fortunado Azevedo, refereeing experts (See HERE).

The green and white team will be back on the pitch next Friday, February 27, against Estoril. The match, part of the 24th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ian Cathro, will be played at 8:45 pm at Estádio José Alvalade.
