Tiago Silva labels Jhon Durán a ‘piscineiro’ after Benfica draw | OneFootball

Porto-leaning television pundit Tiago Silva has branded Benfica striker Jhon Durán a 'piscineiro' after their draw with Académico de Viseu.

According to Glorioso 1904, Silva seized on a late incident to accuse the Colombian of trying to win a penalty in second-half stoppage time.

Durán featured in the match and, in Silva’s view, his conduct in the opposition box merited unusually sharp criticism.

Writing on X, Silva suggested Durán looked intent on becoming the league’s biggest 'piscineiro', a remark that quickly drew attention online.

The post triggered lively debate on social media and added another flashpoint to Portuguese football’s familiar rivalry. The game marked Benfica’s start to the competition.
