Leirós, Coroado and Azevedo on Aursnes penalty in Benfica v Gil | OneFootball

José Leirós, Jorge Coroado and Fortunato Azevedo stressed that the penalty awarded to Benfica was correctly given. In the aftermath of the 3-1 win over Gil Vicente, the experts considered that there was an infringement on Fredrik Aursnes.

"Penalty correctly awarded. Tidjany Touré did not play the ball, he hit Aursnes, who got there first, bringing him down. Good decision", analyzed José Leirós, as quoted by newspaper O Jogo. The former referee worked as an official in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Jorge Coroado, a former Portuguese international referee, 70 years old, shares the same opinion. "Without playing the ball, Touré put his foot in front of Aursnes, causing him to fall. Penalty correctly awarded", it reads.

To complete the trio of analyses, Fortunato Azevedo does not go against the grain. , he said.
