Tiago Silva insults Benfica player, calls him a diver | OneFootball

Benfica’s draw against Académico de Viseu was not defined solely by the result, as one of the Reds’ players became the target of criticism from Tiago Silva, a TV pundit with ties to Porto. The blue-and-white supporter did not let an incident involving the player go unnoticed and took the opportunity to aim a dig at the footballer.

Tiago Silva did not hold back and even labelled the Benfica forward a "diver", in a clear reference to what he believed was the striker’s attempt to "win" a penalty deep into second-half stoppage time.

"Duran seems determined to become the biggest diver in the League", it reads on his X account, thus taking a direct swipe at the Colombian. The expression used by the pundit quickly caused a stir on social media.

The statement came after Jhon Durán featured in Benfica’s draw against Académico de Viseu, in a match that marked the Reds’ start in the competition.
