Related foul: Penalty kick for scoring against Benfica due to a foul by Tomas Araújo on Chiquinho
Andre Narciso officiated the match between Benfica and Famalicao, which was held at the Estadio da Luz, and the Setubal native has excellent conditions, including determination, character and courage. Let the player play to the maximum (which involves risks) and try to be consistent in all his actions. He was good for most of the match, and made a foul on one of the moves in question.
Below is a technical analysis of the most important moves relevant to the match:
3' Thiago Gouveia brought down Francisco Moura, in a move that was punished somewhat rashly: the ball went into the Reds' penalty area, towards Theo Fonseca, who managed to control it and create a great danger near the Trubin goal. The feature could have been applied.
4' During the free kick in question, the ball was stopped In socks By Arthur Cabral and Morato, who were in the defensive barrier, properly protecting the body. There was no violation that required a penalty kick.
14' Nathan, whose vision was disturbed by Arthur Cabral's attempted header, controlled the ball legally (with his right knee), which later bounced unexpectedly into his left arm. Although they were far from the body (they were both), the player was making a correct defensive move, not his presence sinner Unnecessary size or moving his arm toward the ball. The judging team did a good job of noticing anything.
26' A clear-cut charge of Arthur Cabral, who brought down Ottavio. The violation was not unsportsmanlike, despite the Brazilian defender's complaints
31' Beautiful goal from Benfica, with correct analysis from the assistant referee in two minutes: the first Rafa, who provided the assist, came from behind the opponent's defense line; Then Arthur Cabral, the successful finisher, was behind the ball line when the pass was made. All very good.
35' An offense committed in the assistant referee's blind spot (inside) which, in those circumstances, Andre Narciso could barely see: Topic seized Rafa's shirt, illegally preventing the striker from participating in the play. The move remained subject to technical penalties.
37' Good yellow card for Chiquinho. The Famalicão midfielder tracked down Arthur Cabral, only to be blocked in the advanced area of the pitch.
40' Despite the protests, the referee did a good job of not pointing out Otávio's foul on Kukcu. The Turkish midfielder jumped over his opponent before touching his right knee, and was not knocked down by the action.
45' An error in analysis by the Setubal referee, who did not realize that Joao Mario had arrived too late when making the tackle and carelessly stepped on Otavio's right foot. A free kick and a yellow card were awarded to the Portuguese Benfica midfielder.
55' Theo Fonseca isolated himself and allowed a tight defense from Trupin. The Famalicense striker started from an irregular position that was clearly noticed by the assistant referee.
60' Relevant foul by the refereeing team: Tomas Araujo's left arm touched Chiquinho's back, throwing him off balance, but more decisive was the fact that the defender's left foot touched the opponent's right, disrupting his movement and causing him to fall. These types of violations are frequent and always punishable, regardless of the ease (or lack thereof) of contact: the one standing behind must be careful and careful not to touch the person in front, during the race, at speed. If you do this and it has consequences, there should be a technical penalty. The recklessness occurred while trying to compete for the ball and should have been punished with a penalty kick and a warning for the violator.
61' A clumsy tackle by Otavio on Arthur Cabral was well calculated and the Famalicao defender was booked.
62' Coccio grabbed Chiquinho and then pushed him, committing a so-called tactical foul (which is unsporting). The violation was well punished with a yellow card.
90+2' Gustavo Assuncao brought down Joao Neves in an unsportsmanlike manner and was given a good warning for the infringement.
