Sporting loanee injured by Zaidu’s horror tackle in Porto v Moreirense | OneFootball

The game between Porto and Moreirense is marked by yet another controversial refereeing decision. At the 60th minute of the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, Zaidu made a shocking tackle on Diogo Travassos, a player on loan from Sporting.

The bench of the Moreira de Cónegos team called for the expulsion of the full-back from Francesco Farioli's team. The technical team's complaints were immediate: “It was a reckless tackle, deserving of a red card,” declared one of the technical team members.

The outrage wasn't limited to the bench. Many players also expressed their desire for a card of a different color. The referee's decision to show only a yellow card left the players and technical team of the Minho team incredulous.

It is worth noting that the Alvalade Club renewed Diogo Travassos' contract until 2030, setting a release clause of 80 million euros, a clear sign of the club's confidence in the potential of a player who continues to grow and will be a key player for Rui Borges in the 2026/27 season (Learn more HERE).

This season, Diogo Travassos - valued at 2.5 million euros - was loaned by Sporting to the Moreirense team, in search of gaining more competitive rhythm. In Moreira de Cónegos, he has already played 22 matches (1,808 minutes of play) with four goals and three assists.
