Richard Ríos risks suspension after Porto v Benfica | OneFootball

Despite high expectations, Benfica and Porto drew 0-0 in the Classic of the eighth round. Richard Ríos received a yellow card still in the first half of the match and is 'on the edge' for the next round, and will be suspended if he is booked again.

The incident that earned Richard Ríos a yellow card was contested with Gabri Veiga and put the Benfica midfielder on the list of players at risk. The Colombian international joins Nicolás Otamendi, with both now having four yellow cards.

They will miss the always challenging trip to Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, to face Vitória de Guimarães.

This season, playing for Benfica, Richard Ríos – valued at 22 million euros – has played 15 matches: eight in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, and one in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 1,283 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has yet to score a goal or provide an assist.

Benfica will take the field again next Friday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m., at Estádio Municipal Engenheiro Manuel Branco Teixeira, against Chaves. The match is part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against a team that plays in Liga 2.
