Rodrigo Roquette slams refereeing, says one incident cost Sporting | OneFootball

Rodrigo Roquette analyzed Sporting's victory against AFS (3-2 after extra time) in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup and criticized the refereeing. The well-known fan of the lions emphasized that, despite qualifying, the team unnecessarily complicated a match that could have been resolved in regular time, but regrets the penalty not awarded to Daniel Bragança.

“Avoidable overtime. Playing at half-speed carries risks, but the objective was achieved,” he wrote on the social network 'X', in an initial reading of the match, pointing to an overly controlled approach by the lions, which ended up pushing the decision to extra time.

On an individual level, he highlighted the growth of Geny Catamo and the performance of Luís Guilherme. “Geny increasingly important. What a shot! Good game and good goal by Luis Guilherme. He is a reinforcement especially from the right,” he emphasized, valuing the decisive impact of both on the final result.

Rodrigo Roquette also criticized the refereeing by André Narciso for not calling a foul on the 'number 23': “Penalty on Bragança not awarded. Quick recovery for Baroan!” he concluded. The lions will now face Porto in a two-legged semi-final of the main competition.

In the 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Daniel Bragança – valued at 10 million euros – played one match for the B team and four matches for the main team. In total, in 179 minutes of play, the midfielder scored one goal (Check HERE).
