Penalty for Sporting? Pedro Henriques on key Clássico moment | OneFootball

Pedro Henriques provided his analysis of the refereeing in the Porto - Sporting match, which ended in a one-all draw. In an article in the newspaper A Bola, the former Portuguese referee made it clear that the penalty that leveled the score for the lions - even though it was only scored on the rebound - was well judged by Luís Godinho.

"90+7 ’: Arm. A clear and obvious penalty well called, at the moment and after the ball was crossed by Fresneda, the ball was intercepted by Francisco Moura's left arm, which was outside the plane of the body and with extra volume," it reads.

In fact, the expert only points out one negative aspect throughout the match, always due to the attitudes of various elements at Estádio do Dragão: "The game was interrupted because of the smoke and the balls that were along the lines and were removed."

With this draw – the fifth in 36 matches this season –, the team led by Rui Borges now has 52 points and remains in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (56) is in first place. Meanwhile, Benfica is third with 49.

The green and white team will be back on the field next Sunday, February 15, against Famalicão. The match, counting for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played at 8:30 PM, in Alvalade.
