Faustino and Ferreira spot major error in Sporting v Alverca | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Alverca, 2-0, in the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match went by without major incidents for the refereeing team, led by António Nobre, except for an incident in the 10th minute, when Iván Fresneda ended up being substituted after complaining of significant discomfort.

"Nuozzi, in a sliding tackle to try to play the ball, ended up hitting Fresneda's supporting foot in a negligent approach. An infraction that went unpunished with a direct free kick and a yellow card," stated the refereeing expert to the newspaper Record, regarding the incident that injured Sporting's full-back.

For Marco Ferreira, the analysis of the incident is similar: "Nuozzi goes in for a tackle on the ball, but ends up hitting Fresneda's foot negligently and causing some danger. A direct free kick was not awarded and a yellow card was not shown."

With the victory – the 12th in 16 matches this season –, Rui Borges' men occupy first place, albeit provisionally. Sporting has 25 points from 10 matches played, equaling Porto, who have one game less. Benfica (21) completes the podium.
