In the spotlight is Luís Godinho, who has been chosen to moderate the match between Benfica and Tondela, where the Eagles will visit the home of the Beirões.

The match between the Reds and the northern team is scheduled for February 1, with the kickoff set for 8:30 PM. Thus, as announced by the Arbitration Council, the Alentejo referee will be the one to officiate the match.

The same source also reveals that Luís Godinho — — will be accompanied by assistant referees Rui Teixeira and Pedro Mota. The duties of the fourth official will be handled by Iancu Vasilica.

However, the appointments do not end there. Besides the refereeing team present on the field at Tondela's venue, Luís Godinho will also have support from the video assistant referee. Manuel Mota has been designated by the Arbitration Council as the VAR for the match, accompanied by the AVAR, who will be Paulo Miranda.

The choice of Luís Godinho for the Benfica match may not have been well-received within the Benfica community, as he is directly involved, along with Tiago Martins, in the errors noted in the Portuguese Cup final, where he failed to call a foul for an aggression by Matheus Reis against Andrea Belotti.
