Jorge Coroado says key decision was wrong in Gil Vicente v Sporting clash | OneFootball

Jorge Coroado analyzed Gustavo Correia's performance in the Gil Vicente - Sporting match, part of the 17th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The former referee stated that Gonçalo Inácio should not have been sent off in the match that ended in a 1-1 draw between the lions and the minhotos.

"The conditions for expulsion were not met, namely the attacker having control of the ball and being in line with the goal, which would justify showing a red card to the Sporting player. Yellow, yes", he wrote, this Saturday, January 3rd, in the newspaper 'O Jogo'.

Sporting took the lead early on through Luis Suárez, but the home team, with a numerical advantage after the expulsion of the Portuguese international central defender, scored the equalizer three minutes before the 90th minute, through forward Carlos Eduardo.

The Alvalade club thus falls behind in the title race. They have 42 points, four less than Porto, which can extend the lead this weekend. Meanwhile, Gil Vicente temporarily rises to fourth place, with two more points than Braga (28), which has one game less.

In this 2025/26 sports season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is one of the pillars of Sporting. The green and white central defender has accumulated, so far, 2,112 minutes in 24 games, in which he has already made two assists for goals.
