Pedro Henriques: Eagles hard done by in Benfica v Gil Vicente | OneFootball

Benfica defeated Gil Vicente 2-1 in the seventh round of the Betclic Portugal League. Pedro Henriques analyzed the main plays of the match and believes that the eagles were disadvantaged in the initial minutes of the encounter, especially in the goal play of the Minho team.

"3' - Luís Esteves comes in out of time and with his right heel ends up negligently stepping, with the sole and with the studs, on the left foot of Amar Dedic. A hard entry that, in reality, was not sanctioned disciplinarily", assured Jorge Faustino, refereeing specialist, to the newspaper A Bola.

Regarding the play that opened the scoring at Luz, Pedro Henriques admits that the correct judgment should have been a foul in favor of the reds: "António Silva loses the ball in midfield, but in fact this happened because he suffered a negligent entry by Pablo, it was a direct free kick and yellow card. From this unmarked foul will result a free kick from which the Gilistas' goal will arise".

Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira share the same opinion as Pedro Henriques, assuring that João Gonçalves made a gross mistake in the analysis of the play that dictated the first goal of the match and put Benfica at a disadvantage in the game.

The Benfica team will be back on the field next Tuesday, September 30, at 8:00 p.m., at Stamford Bridge, against Chelsea. The match is part of the second round of the Champions League and will be played against the team led by Enzo Maresca.
