Marco Ferreira analyzed the performance of David Silva in the match between Sporting and Famalicão (1-0). The refereeing expert gave a score of three to the match referee and mentioned that the goal scored by the Minho team was preceded by a foul and that the VAR was crucial in disallowing the play.

M. Ferreira: "Benefited from VAR to disallow the irregular goal"

"Benefited from VAR to disallow the irregular goal in a game where he made good decisions on the plays in the areas. Disciplinarily, he made some errors without impacting the adopted criteria. Well assisted," he began writing in the newspaper 'Record', addressing the incident.

At the 8th minute, Ibrahima Ba silenced the stands of Alvalade after putting Famalicão ahead on the scoreboard with a powerful shot from outside the area. However, the goal was eventually disallowed after VAR alerted referee David Silva to a possible foul by Pedro Santos.

Marco Ferreira explained the moment in question: "Ibrahima Ba recovers the ball from Maxi Araújo and scores after Pedro Santos tripped Maxi Araújo imprudently. Goal well disallowed after a good intervention by VAR," can be read in the sports daily.

The green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, February 21, against Moreirense. The match, part of the 23rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa, will be played at 18:00, at the Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas.
