Referee who missed Maxi penalty to officiate Paços v Sporting | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced this Thursday, October 16, the refereeing team appointed for the third round of the Portuguese Cup. Miguel Nogueira was chosen to officiate the match between Paços de Ferreira and Sporting.

The referee from the Lisbon Football Association was elected as the main referee for the clash between the beavers and the lions and will have Paulo Brás and Nuno Pires as assistants. The fourth referee will be Rui Mónica. It should be noted that, at this stage of the main competition, there is still no VAR (video assistant referee).

It should be remembered that Miguel Nogueira is a referee of bad memory for the lions. In the game where Sporting defeated Famalicão, 3-1 (26th round of last season), in the 13th minute, Maxi Araújo was pushed in the opponent's penalty area when he had the ball under control, and a penalty should have been awarded.

At the time, Jorge Faustino was adamant and pointed out a serious error: "Rodrigo Pinheiro was strong in the contact with Maxi Araújo, eventually pushing him with his left arm in the area below the armpit chest. Penalty kick not awarded", assured the refereeing expert (See HERE).

The match, part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 PM.
