Rui Borges: Inácio’s red card? I didn’t see, camera unclear | OneFootball

In Barcelos, the draw between Sporting and Gil Vicente could have left the Lions seven points behind the leader FC Porto in the Primeira Liga. Rui Borges responded immediately in the press conference after the match, referring to the past—especially the previous season—although he started by analyzing the incident that resulted in Gonçalo Inácio's expulsion, which means he will miss the League Cup semi-final against Vitória SC.

“I didn't see the incident. The camera is there, but it's not clear. Regarding the lost points, it is what it is. We are with ten players, and Gil deserves credit for growing. Against Braga, it was a specific incident, a penalty, we were penalized, it's the referee's decision. We have to focus on what we can control,” he mentioned at the end of the match, at the Municipal Stadium of Barcelos.

“The points... Last year we were eight points behind second place and moved up to second. Then we'll see what we're capable of regarding the point difference,” emphasized Rui Borges.
