Pedro Henriques: Sporting denied another penalty v Kairat | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Kairat 4-1 in a match valid for the first round of the Champions League. Despite the widening score, the Lions even missed a penalty when the match was at zero - the play was deemed well-called by Pedro Henriques, who believes the Polish referee should have awarded another penalty.

"20’: Well-called penalty. Luis Suárez reached the ball first and ended up being kicked by Mrsynskiy, who, by not stopping his movement, touched and tripped with his right foot the right foot of the Colombian forward of the Lions", wrote the former Portuguese judge in his analysis in the newspaper A Bola.

"80’: Penalty not awarded. Egor Sorokin did not touch the ball and by placing his left foot in front of Trincão's foot, he ended up preventing the Lions' forward from shooting under good conditions, eventually touching half the ball and half the foot of the Portuguese international", further explained Pedro Henriques.

With this victory – the fifth in seven matches this season –, Rui Borges' team thus earns their first three points in the competition. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1st, at 20:00, away against the Italians of Napoli.

The green and white team will return to the field next Monday, September 22nd, against Moreirense, in a match related to the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 20:15, at Estádio José Alvalade.
