A penalty "discovered" by VAR Cláudia Ribeiro, in favor of Braga, during the fourth minute of the added 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 offender.
According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the 'number 42' of the Lisbon team was quite displeased with Cláudio Pereira's decision, on two different occasions. As soon as the referee announced the penalty decision, the green and white captain was shown a yellow card for his words.
In a second instance, Morten Hjulmand again felt the need to express his disagreement with the referee's decision after the final whistle. Even when the Sporting team did their usual lap of appreciation for the fans, the 'number 42' appeared visibly frustrated.
The green and white team will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel, at 8:15 PM.
