specialists register Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira analyze Joao Pinheiro’s refereeing at Sporting Benfica (2-2), from Round 33 of the Bwin League.
Mark Ferrera: Note 3
He dominated the match on a technical and disciplinary level. He decided well on zonal bids and maintained a wide standard, which gave flexibility to the course of the match. Disciplinarily, he made some errors in the analysis, leaving some yellows undisplayed. Good help
Jorge FaustinoNote 2
Joao Pinheiro provided an excellent referee in what is always a very difficult game. A foul on a difficult assistant move, which only VAR can “save”, had an effect on the score and thus prevented a positive note.
case after case
39th minute
MF – Trincão appears in the area and records the results. The attacker is behind the defensive line at the time of his teammate’s pass in the right position. good decision
GF – When Nuno Santos passed to Trincao, who scored later, he was the last behind the opponent’s penultimate line (47 cm). The bid was well evaluated by the assistant. Great goal.
40th minute
MF – Antonio Silva blocks Trincao without any possibility of intercepting the ball and suffers a tactical foul. Good show, free and yellow
JF – Antonio Silva, who could no longer play the ball, positioned his body in order to block the pass of Trincao who followed him in an attacking move. A tactical (non-sports) foul is well punished with a direct free and a yellow.
A minute is 45 minutes + 1
MF – Throw in Sporting’s zone with Morita intercepting the ball with her thigh without fouling. The Japanese has his arm close to his body and avoids contact. good decision
JF-Gonzalo Ramos was pulled slightly by Murrieta out of the area, but the move kept going. good. The striker’s cross was then intercepted by Morita’s thigh with the ball coming at him. No penalty.
48th minute
MF – Diamond arrives late to the ball and carelessly hits Gonzalo Ramos with no possibility to play the ball. Good show, free and yellow
GF-Diomande, trailing in his attempt to play the ball, stepped up on Gonzalo Ramos. A careless foul is properly punished with a direct free kick and a yellow card. good decision.
Minute 52
MF – Throwing into Sporting Zone with Bah feeling his hand on his back and throwing himself into the grass without any kind of offense. Normal connection without massive drop effect. good decision.
GF – There was contact from Nuno Santos’ left hand on Bah’s back without any charge or payment. It was Bah who felt the connection threw himself. No penalty. good decision.
65th minute
MF – Paulinho raised his foot to win the ball from Grimaldo causing a dangerous play which the referee immediately pointed out. Then, as the game stops, the ball enters the goal. An indirect free kick is well noted
71st minute
MF – Throw in Sporting’s area with Aursnes to intercept the ball with Diamonde and Esgaio without offense. Players move towards the ball with normal contact. Next, record Aursnes. Good decision to validate.
GF – It was an apparently legal charge by Esgaio on Aursnes that led him to collide with Diomande without any possibility of avoiding this contact. Aursnes has no shortage of action which later ended in a goal.
88th minute
MF – Coates hits Gonçalo Guedes from behind, preventing him from continuing a promising attack. Good show, free and yellow
JF-Cotes swept and kicked Gonzalo Guedes, bringing down the Benfica player when he was sprinting in what could have been a promising move. Yellow card and a lie. good decision.
90 + 4 min
MF – Splashed into Sporting’s area where Coates bumped into Florentino who won the pole without a foul. After the play, Joao Neves scored. Good decision to validate Benfica’s goal
JF – An attacker who puts himself in an offside position must be penalized with a side free kick and thus obstructs a defender moving into the area, for being offside. That’s what Florentino did. Poorly validated.
