Linesman slipped up and Sporting won, Fofana stumbled and FC Porto won | OneFootball

José Mourinho sent a message to his direct rivals after the derby in the 30th round of the Betclic League and highlighted Benfica’s resilience in a season below expectations.

After Sporting-Benfica, the Benfica coach praised the team’s perseverance and stressed how the group managed to remain competitive throughout the league campaign. In the same remarks, Mourinho took aim at Sporting and FC Porto, recalling incidents that, in his view, ended up being decisive in recent rounds.

Among the references, he pointed to an error by the refereeing team that allegedly benefited Sporting, speaking of a corner wrongly awarded, and also mentioned an incident at the end of an FC Porto match, summing it up with the expression that “Fofana stumbled”, which led to a favorable outcome for the Porto side.

Curiously, he forgot the incident in which António Silva held Deniz Gul inside the box in a match where FC Porto drew with Benfica. It would be fair to add: “António Silva held him, but the referee didn’t call it.”
