Rui Borges on Porto penalty: Could have gone either way, ref decided

Meeting with FC Porto: “It's another classic, against a good team, which is in first place in the Primeira Liga. These games are always competitive, strategic, that's how football is. There are two halves, tomorrow is the first and we want to come out winning. FC Porto will also come with the ambition to win. We play at home, we want to take a step forward, we have to do a lot for that.”

Penalty awarded to FC Porto in Arouca. What is your opinion? “For me, it might not have been a penalty. But the referee decided that way, I'm not going to talk about refereeing and incidents from other games here.”
