Jorge Coroado: clear negligence missed in Sporting v Alverca | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Alverca, 2-0, in the tenth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The match went by without major incidents for the refereeing team, led by António Nobre, with the exception of an incident as early as the 10th minute, in which Iván Fresneda ended up being substituted with many complaints.

"A foul that clearly deserved a yellow card for obvious negligence," assured the refereeing expert to the newspaper O Jogo, admitting that António Nobre, wrongly, let the play continue, not calling the foul on the Sporting defender.

José Leirós is clear and also believes that Nuozzi's approach was excessive, putting Fresneda's physical integrity at risk: "A sliding tackle, outside the box, in a negligent and dangerous manner, hitting the opponent's foot and leg. A yellow card should have been shown."

With the victory – the 12th in 16 matches this season –, Rui Borges' men occupy first place, albeit provisionally. Sporting has 25 points from 10 games played, equaling Porto, who have one game less. Benfica (21) completes the podium.

Sporting will be back on the field as early as Tuesday, November 4th, this time against the Italians of Juventus. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luciano Spalletti, will be played at the opponent's ground at 8:00 pm.
