Pedro Henriques: Two Marciniak errors in Newcastle v Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica was defeated in Newcastle (3-0) in the third round of the Champions League. Pedro Henriques pointed out some errors by Szymon Marciniak, the match referee, which ended up disadvantaging the team at St. James' Park.

"3' - A yellow card should have been shown. Kieran Trippier was late and missed the ball, which was no longer there, and carelessly stepped with his right foot, sole and studs, on Barrenechea's left foot. The card stayed in the pocket," he said to the newspaper A Bola.

At 45 minutes, Szymon Marciniak once again made the wrong decision: "Lukebakio was wrongly shown a yellow card for a foul he did not commit, but rather suffered. The Belgian forward reached the ball first and was the one who was stepped on with the sole and studs on his left foot/ankle. The yellow should have been shown to Anthony Gordon."

Marco Ferreira also explained the incidents of the match, ensuring that the referee should have shown a red card to a Newcastle player. The former referee also explained the two moments when the Geordies asked for a penalty.
