Roquette backs Sporting, shows Benfica’s lucky break (Video) | OneFootball

Rodrigo Roquette spoke about the controversial goal that secured Sporting's victory in the Azores against Santa Clara near the end. The commentator, affiliated with the green and whites, acknowledges that it was indeed not a corner in favor of the lions, but argues that a foul should have been called. Moreover, he listed an incident where Benfica was favored in the past.

In the V+ sports program, the supporter of the green and white emblem believes that the Santa Clara player committed a foul on Geovany Quenda, even before the ball went out, stating that the referee's mistake is not as serious as has been said in recent days. The lions' supporter had already called the match referee "incompetent".

The commentator recalls that in the Classic at Alvalade against Porto, Sporting had three corners in their favor that were not properly awarded and also remembered that in the game with Braga (1-1), the goal from the Minho team came from a non-existent foul.

Rodrigo Roquette reminds that, in 2022, Benfica won against Vizela 2-1 with a penalty at 90+11’. Analysts said the decision was well made. Now, in 2025, the same experts twist their stance and say that António Silva's penalty was poorly awarded.

Currently, Sporting, led by Rui Borges, occupies the second place in the standings with 28 points. Meanwhile, Porto (31) is in the top spot of the Liga Portugal Betclic. On the other hand, Benfica is in third place with 25 points, three behind the green and white emblem.
