Robbery at Gil-Sporting! Expert: Inácio wrongly sent off, goal irregular | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio received a direct red card in the match between Gil Vicente and Sporting (1-1). Jorge Faustino analyzed the incidents of the match and, besides disagreeing with the expulsion of the central defender of the lions, he also stated that the equalizing goal of the Minho team is irregular due to a foul on Alisson Santos. Thus, he even gave a negative rating to the referee's performance (two).

"Gonçalo Inácio held Gustavo Varela, preventing his movement when he could have been left isolated, but without possession of the ball (he had to control it in a difficult situation). Better decision: direct free kick and yellow card", wrote the former referee in the newspaper 'Record.'

Regarding the equalizing goal, he had no doubts that the Sporting player was fouled: "In the movement inside the area and after some natural and mutual contacts, Carlos Eduardo hit Alisson's chin with his arm. Reckless foul. Goal wrongly validated".

In summary, Jorge Faustino justified the negative rating to Gustavo Correia, criticizing the two crucial incidents that ended up harming the Alvalade Club: "Refereeing that ended up being unfortunate due to the two important errors that influenced the result".

The green and white team will be back on the field next Tuesday, January 6th, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, counting for the semi-final of the League Cup, against the team led by Luís Pinto, will be played at 8:00 PM, at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, in Leiria.
