Sporting starter lost his cool with Cláudio Pereira in the closing minutes | OneFootball

A significant penalty "uncovered" by VAR Claudia Ribeiro, in favor of Braga, during the fourth minute of stoppage time given by referee Cláudio Pereira, was crucial for the Minho team to secure a draw at Alvalade against Sporting (1-1). The decision irritated Morten Hjulmand, the author of the infraction.

According to information advanced by the newspaper Record, the 'number 42' of the Leonine emblem was quite displeased with the decision of Cláudio Pereira, on two different occasions. As soon as the referee announced the decision of maximum punishment, the green and white captain was admonished with a yellow card for words.

On a second occasion, Morten Hjulmand felt, again, the need to express his disagreement with the referee's decision even after the final whistle. Even when the Sporting team did their usual lap of thanks to the fans, the 'number 42' was visibly frustrated.

The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portugal Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Capital do Móvel Stadium, at 8:15 pm.
