Rio Ave v Sporting referee called incompetent by Rodrigo Roquette | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced this Thursday, May 7, the refereeing team appointed for Matchday 33 of the Liga Portugal Betclic. João Gonçalves was the one chosen to officiate the match between Rio Ave and Sporting.

He will be assisted by Pedro Ribeiro and Miguel Martins. The fourth official will be Diogo Araújo, while VAR will be handled by Vasco Santos. Hugo Santos will be the AVAR.

João Gonçalves does not bring back good memories for the fans of the Alvalade club and has already been criticized by Rodrigo Roquette, who named the referee in question as the most "incompetent" figure in the Clássico between Sporting and Porto, which ended in a 2-1 win for the Dragons on matchday four.

Sporting will return to the pitch next Monday, May 10, against Rio Ave. The match, counting for Matchday 33 of the Portuguese league, against the side coached by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played in Vila do Conde at 8:15 p.m.
