Referee for Benfica v Gil Vicente oversaw a nightmare match for the Eagles | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council (CA) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) revealed, this Thursday, the referees appointed for the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. João Gonçalves will referee Benfica's reception to the Gil Vicente team - See HERE the probable eleven.

The judge from the Porto Football Association will be assisted by Pedro Ribeiro and João Bessa Silva, while José Rodrigues is the fourth referee of the match. João Malheiro Pinto was the VAR highlighted for the match and Diogo Pereira will contribute as AVAR.

It's worth remembering that, despite the favorable history when refereed by João Gonçalves - four victories, one draw and one defeat - Benfica has bad memories of the judge, who refereed the defeat in Famalicão on the 32nd round of the 2023/24 season, which earned Sporting the National Champion title.

Benfica will return to the field next Friday, September 26, against Gil Viente. The match against the team led by César Peixoto, valid for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at Luz and is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 pm.

At the moment, Benfica is third in the National Championship, with 14 points earned in six rounds. Porto (18) and Sporting (15), close the accounts of the Liga Portugal Betclic podium. Gil Vicente (13) is the last club in the qualification zone for European competitions.
