Marco Ferreira highlights refereeing error in Napoli - Sporting: negligent | OneFootball

Sporting lost 2-1 in Naples, in a match valid for the second round of the Champions League. Kevin De Bruyne made a rough tackle on Iván Fresneda, but referee Danny Makkelie did not signal anything. Marco Ferreira disagrees with the analysis of the play.

"De Bruyne stretches his leg and hits Fresneda's leg negligently. Free kick well signaled and yellow card to show", assured the refereeing expert, to Record newspaper, about the play between the Belgian midfielder and Sporting's right-back.

The incident in question occurred at minute 15 and, if it had been well sanctioned, would have conditioned De Bruyne throughout the match. The former Manchester City player ended up making the two assists for Rasmus Hojlund, at the 36th and 79th minutes of the match.

With the loss in Naples, Sporting has three points in the Champions League and occupies the 14th place in the ranking, being in a playoff spot for access to the next phase. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and PSG complete the podium, with six points.
