Suárez denied penalty, expert slams Sporting v Estrela referee | OneFootball

Luis Suárez had a penalty denied by Anzhony Rodrigues in the match between Sporting and Estrela da Amadora (4-0). Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira analyzed the incidents of the match, with the latter even giving a negative rating to the referee's performance.

"He decided well overall, both technically and disciplinarily, in a game that was not complicated to manage. Serious error - penalty not awarded - without impact on the outcome of the winner", stated Jorge Faustino, to the newspaper Record, giving a score of three to the referee from the Madeira Football Association.

"When Luis Suárez was about to shoot the ball, Otávio placed his foot in front of him preventing the shot and also charged him intensely in the hip area. Penalty not awarded", he justified. Meanwhile, Marco Ferreira gave a negative score (two) to the referee of the match, in Alvalade.

"Broad technical criteria harmed the technical and disciplinary level. He controlled the game disciplinarily but made some errors, breaking the criteria. Poorly assisted. Incident in the Estrela area with Otávio ignoring the ball and moving towards Luis Suárez, preventing him from playing the ball. The defender charges and hits the forward's foot. Penalty not awarded without proper VAR intervention".
