Estrela da Amadora v Sporting ref once tried to allow illegal goal | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced last Wednesday, February 8, the refereeing team appointed for the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. David Silva was chosen to officiate the match between Sporting and Estrela da Amadora.

The referee from the Porto Football Association was selected as the main official for the clash and will have Carlos Campos and Nélson Cunha as assistants. Daniel Pinto will be the fourth official, while Pedro Ferreira will be on VAR duty. Nuno Eiras will be the AVAR.

David Silva has officiated only three matches involving the green and whites throughout his career, and the Alvalade club came out victorious in all of them. The most recent was the 22nd round match against Famalicão, which the Lions won 1-0. However, the referee 'tried' to allow an irregular goal by the Minho side, which was later ruled out after VAR alerted the referee

At this stage, Rui Borges' men now have 68 points and remain in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (73) are in first place (with one more game played). Benfica are third with 66, also having played one more match.

Sporting take to the field next Saturday, April 11, against Estrela da Amadora. The match, counting for the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by João Nuno, will be played at 8:30 pm at the Estádio José Gomes.
