Penalty not given? Marco Ferreira reviews Gil Vicente v Benfica | OneFootball

The match between Benfica and Gil Vicente, which ended with a victory for the Eagles (2-1), featured some incidents that sparked debate. Among the most discussed moments was the possibility of a penalty that was not awarded to the Reds, a situation that was analyzed by Marco Ferreira and Jorge Faustino.

"An incident in Gil Vicente’s box, with Schjelderup heading the ball against Zé Carlos’s chest. The defender intercepted the ball with his body, avoiding contact with his arms. Good decision," stated the expert, in comments to the newspaper Record, supporting João Gonçalves’s decision.

"Schjelderup headed the ball against Zé Carlos’s chest, causing the ball to go out over the goal line. At no point did the ball hit the arm of the Gil Vicente defender. No penalty," Jorge Faustino shared the same interpretation as his analysis partner.

"Santi arrived late to the ball and stepped on Otamendi’s foot in a careless manner, causing some danger. Direct free kick correctly awarded and a yellow card should have been shown," added Marco Ferreira, referring to the behavior of the Gil Vicente player against the Reds.

"Schjelderup, in a sliding tackle to try to play the ball, ended up catching Zé Carlos’s foot with the sole of his boot. Careless foul correctly punished with a direct free kick and a yellow card," emphasized Jorge Faustino, regarding the challenge by Benfica’s number 21.
