FC Porto stay silent but unhappy with refereeing in Benfica clash | OneFootball

FC Porto will not issue a public statement, but has expressed dissatisfaction with the refereeing in the Clássico against Benfica, particularly regarding the incident between António Silva and Deniz Gül inside Benfica’s penalty area in the 88th minute.

The newspaper Record writes this Tuesday that the Dragons believe the footage clearly shows a foul by the Eagles’ defender and do not understand why the refereeing team led by Miguel Nogueira did not award a penalty for pulling the Turkish striker’s shirt.

The same newspaper adds that, for now, no public statement on the matter is planned, but FC Porto will assert its position with the relevant authorities.

FC Porto’s indignation regarding refereeing is not limited to the Clássico. The Dragons also criticized the referee’s performance in the B team’s defeat against Torreense, also on Sunday, in the II Liga, and published their protest against referee Vítor Ferreira’s performance: “He continues to show why he was ranked last two seasons ago and why relegation to the second category is still insufficient, given his lack of competence to officiate any match in a professional league,” FC Porto wrote on its official website.
