In addition to the ratings related to the matches of the 31st round of the Betclic League, the Refereeing Council of the Portuguese Football Federation also released this Tuesday the referees’ scores for FC Porto-Sporting and Torreense-Fafe, the second-leg matches of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals. In the case of the clássico, Miguel Nogueira’s performance was rated “unsatisfactory”, as was that of the VAR team, led by João Pinto.
That match was marked by several refereeing incidents, including a duel between William Gomes and Gonçalo Inácio in the opening minutes, as well as another between Gabri Veiga and Morten Hjulmand, in which Sporting captain ended up leaving injured. In the closing moments, Alan Varela was sent off in the 87th minute.
