Was Tondela's penalty v Sporting right? Jorge Coroado says no | OneFootball

Sporting drew 2-2 with Tondela last Wednesday, April 26, in the rescheduled match from the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Leading 2-0 in the 90th minute, the Lions allowed the equalizer in stoppage time.

The green-and-whites’ nightmare began right in the 90th minute, with a penalty awarded by Fábio Veríssimo for a foul by Giorgi Kochorashvili in the box.

"BAD DECISION - Dive. Kochorashvili’s touch on the Tondela player’s back in no way justified a penalty kick", it can be read in his analysis for the newspaper O Jogo of the incident in question, which was ultimately saved by Rui Silva. Even so, Sporting ended up conceding their first goal from the corner that resulted from that very save by the Lions’ goalkeeper.

With this draw – the tenth in 52 matches this season – the team coached by Porto (82) is in first place. Benfica is second with 75.
