Jorge Coroado backs Sporting player, says the decision was wrong | OneFootball

Experts assure: Gonçalo Inácio did not deserve the expulsion in Famalicão. Sporting defeated the Minho team 2-1 and the defender was given a yellow card, with calls for a red card from the opponent and rival fans, but those knowledgeable in the matter exonerate the Portuguese international.

"Inácio was reckless with the arm movement. The opponent simulated a touch to the face, which did not happen. Yellow card was not justified," explained José Leirós, a former referee, in statements to the newspaper O Jogo, ensuring that the card was incorrectly shown by António Nobre.

the first to commit an infraction was the Famalicão player, who grabbed the opponent.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the ever-presents in the Sporting team. The green and white central defender has accumulated 540 minutes in six games, in which he has already managed to make two assists for goals.

Sporting returns to the field on Thursday, September 18, against Kairat Almaty. The match against the team led by Rafael Urazbakhtin, valid for the first round of the Champions League, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM.
