Penalty against Benfica: was Gul really fouled at the Dragão?

Refereeing has once again become the center of discussion due to a shirt-pulling incident inside the box, at a moment when a penalty was awarded against Benfica.

In the incident in question, António Silva clearly pulls the opponent's shirt, with the referee considering the infraction clear enough to point to the penalty spot.

The episode is prompting comparisons with other shirt-pulling incidents in the box that, in different contexts, did not receive the same disciplinary or technical assessment. Among fans and commentators, the idea is growing that the same type of contact is not always analyzed consistently, especially in matches involving FC Porto.
