Pedro Henriques explains Famalicão’s disallowed goal v Sporting | OneFootball

In the analysis of the refereeing during the match between Sporting and Famalicão (victory for the Lions by 1-0), Pedro Henriques reviewed the disallowed goal for the Minho team in the 8th minute, which, in his opinion, leaves no room for dispute, as Maxi Araújo was brought down by the opponent.

"The Famalicão goal was rightly disallowed after VAR intervention, as there was indeed an attacking foul by Pedro Santos on Maxi Araújo. This play was preceded by an offside on the left wing as Famalicão attacked, an offside that was not flagged by the assistant referee," as reported in the newspaper 'A Bola'.

The expert further explained that the issue of the irregular position could not be reversed: "Since the ball was crossed into the area and the Lions regained possession and only then lost it again, in other words, the offside was already part of another phase of attack and, as such, the VAR, by protocol, could no longer review the play to disallow the goal".

A solitary goal by Daniel Bragança in the 82nd minute secured victory against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, in a match counting for the 22nd round of Liga Portugal Betclic, keeping the Lions four points behind leaders Porto, managed by Francesco Farioli.

In the 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Daniel Bragança – valued at 10 million euros – played one match for the B team and six matches for the main squad. In total, across 200 minutes of play, the midfielder scored two goals.
