Porto: Complaint against Pavlidis cites Matheus Reis case | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas announced that FC Porto will file a complaint against Pavlidis for alleged aggression towards Gabri Veiga in the classic: the Benfica forward is said to have delivered an elbow to the back of the Spanish player’s neck in the very first minute.

The Dragons’ complaint will follow a similar line to that of Benfica against Matheus Reis, after the Brazilian’s stamp on Belotti in the Portuguese Cup final, an incident in which the Reds argued that the infraction was not sanctioned by either the referee or VAR.

FC Porto argues that Pavlidis’ action put Gabri Veiga’s physical integrity at risk.

It should be recalled that Matheus Reis ended up being punished with a four-match ban, after a process that included statements from the video assistant referee team.

This is the outcome that André Villas-Boas and FC Porto are now demanding, calling for the intervention of Bruno Esteves and Pedro Felisberto so that the Greek striker is sanctioned.
