Referee for Famalicão v Sporting already in hot water with Duarte Gomes | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced this Wednesday, September 10th, the refereeing team appointed for the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. António Nobre was chosen to officiate the match between Famalicão and Sporting.

The referee from the Leiria Football Association was elected as the main referee for the duel and will have Nélson Pereira and Francisco Pereira as assistants. The fourth official will be Vitor Lopes, while the VAR will have the contribution of Pedro Ferreira. Nuno Eiras will be the AVAR.

It should be remembered that António Nobre has not been a referee of good memory for Sporting. Although the lions have won the last games officiated by the referee, there have been cases where the green and white fans felt disadvantaged by the referee.

In a match for the 20th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the lions defeated Farense 3-1, and at the end of the match, Duarte Gomes, a refereeing specialist, analyzed António Nobre's performance and pointed out several errors by the Portuguese referee (Check HERE).

The green and white emblem returns to the field next Saturday, September 13th, against Famalicão. The match, which will count for the fifth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, will be played in Minho at 8:30 PM.
