Ferreira and Faustino set record straight on Braga v Benfica | OneFootball

Marco Ferreira and Jorge Faustino gave their opinion on the match between Braga and Benfica. In the opinion of the two experts, the refereeing team, led by João Gonçalves, did not perform well in a game where several incidents raised a lot of doubts.

Regarding the incident involving Leandro Barreiro and the attacker from the Minho team, Marco Ferreira, quoted by the newspaper Record, states that there was no foul by the Luxembourger: “The Spaniard and Barreiro, both focused on the ball and in motion, ended up losing their balance. The stamp was unintentional and had no impact.”

Moving on to Otamendi’s goal, the experts are in agreement. “Fall with advantage taken from the contact. No foul on the goal,” said Jorge Faustino. “Several contacts in the area are normal, with no impact on the contest for the ball. Good decision,” added Marco Ferreira, validating the goal by the Eagles’ captain, which sparked a reaction on social media.

The same applies to the incident involving the Eagles’ number 8, where the analysts say there was no foul. “Later on, Gómez lost the ball without a foul and that’s when the move leading to the goal began,” noted Jorge Faustino. “Aursnes scores after a correct ball recovery and without any foul in the attacking phase. Good decision,” added Marco Ferreira.

Finally, both agree that Benfica’s goal in the 74th minute was correctly disallowed. “He waited well for the play to end before sanctioning the foul. Well done,” observed Jorge Faustino. “In the sequence of the play, Dahl scores a goal promptly disallowed by the referee. Free kick correctly awarded,” concluded Marco Ferreira, noting a foul by Richard Ríos.
