"15' - The yellow card was missing. De Bruyne's tackle on Fresneda, besides being borderline, is at least worthy of a yellow card, as he raised his leg and ended up hitting the Spaniard's left shin with part of the sole of his right foot. Negligent tackle warranting a warning," he said to the newspaper A Bola.

foul on the Sporting forward as he was advancing at speed and with danger. Clear cut of a promising attack," he pointed out.
