Diamantino on rival’s controversial win: Just two points, means nothing | OneFootball

Diamantino Miranda notes that "many people" are "happy" with the current "referees" and waits to see if they will maintain this opinion in the end. The former Benfica player reacted to the refereeing controversies that are under strong criticism from the rival leonines. Thus, he ironically argues that "it's just two more points for Sporting, it doesn't matter at all."

The former captain of the eagles left ironic criticisms towards the sector's officials, namely Duarte Gomes. In statements on CMTV, the commentator spoke about how some errors have been handled and the lack of consequences for the referees, directly referring to the controversial corner awarded in favor of Sporting against Santa Clara in the last round, just like João Braz Frade.

"There have been worse incidents. The incident in the Portuguese Cup final is much worse and the referees are already back in full force," he mentioned, recalling previous errors that had no sanctions. "It's just two more points... it doesn't matter at all," he added, criticizing the current state of refereeing.

"There are many people who are happy that these referees continue. Let's see until the end." On the other hand, the former Benfica player, known for his sarcastic speech, also mocked the importance of the error that benefited Sporting and the impact the incident had on the standings.

"Now, was it because of him, an interpretation of a corner that gives Sporting the victory? It's just two more points. It doesn't matter at all. It's just two more points. Was that why the referees would be suspended or stop officiating? Of course not," he stated, in a clearly critical tone.
