Luís Pinto: Our player sent off for barely grazing the shorts | OneFootball

Luís Pinto, coach of Vitória SC, did not hide his dissatisfaction after the defeat against Benfica, in statements made to Sport-TV.

Game with two faces: «While it was 11 against 11, it was Benfica's merit. Afterwards, there is no merit for Benfica in the way the course of the game was changed. Everyone saw what happened, we had a fantastic first half and we should have been playing against ten. That didn't happen and then our player was sent off in a situation where you only see a scrape on the shorts.

It was with great cruelty that the game was changed, in the second half the show was weak. Then we lack the words to explain all the frustration inside the locker room and to tell the players that we have to hold on to the 1st half because in the 2nd we weren't allowed to do more.»

Yellow card to Miguel Maga: «Maga gets a yellow card in a situation where Prestianni is the one who starts the confusion and Maga gets a yellow there and we ended up losing aggressiveness and dropping a lot. And that made Benfica get closer to our area. There was more inability to be higher up the field.»
