FC Porto regained the sole lead of the Primeira Liga by hosting and defeating Sporting de Braga 2-1. Rodrigo Mora opened the scoring in the 44th minute, Victor Gómez equalized in the 52nd, and Borja Sainz, who had just come on, settled the match in the 79th.

“It would be interesting to have the same evaluation criteria for everything”

Francesco Farioli directed harsh criticism at the refereeing team led by Fábio Veríssimo from the Leiria Football Association: “The game couldn’t have been any different than it was. Our contact was called as a foul, and they were allowed to play with their hands, their legs… That’s pretty much what happened as well.”

“It would be interesting to have the same evaluation criteria for everything. 28 points, win, win, win… It’s easy to get discouraged, but everyone can see what’s happening. There are obvious issues and it can cause some irritation, but the players behaved very well, even though it wasn’t easy to control their emotions on the field,” he said.
