Benfica stunned: Luís Godinho could referee the Eagles—full story | OneFootball

Luís Godinho is highly likely to be the referee for the Porto - Benfica match in the eighth round of the National Championship. João Gonçalves has been appointed for the Eagles' home game against Gil Vicente, next Friday, which limits the options for the Arbitration Council (CA) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the fact that João Gonçalves is officiating Benfica - Gil Vicente and Fábio Veríssimo is in charge of Arouca - Porto means that neither of the two referees can officiate the Eagles or the Dragons in the next round of the League.

João Pinheiro will be at the U-20 World Cup, which further limits the Arbitration Council's choices. Therefore, the sports daily reports that Luís Godinho and António Nobre are the possible candidates to referee the Classic between Benfica and Porto in the eighth round of the National Championship.

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