In response to Porto’s draw with Aroca, Benfica today demanded equality of criteria and transparency. The Reds questioned the 17-minute stoppage time at the Dragau Stadium and asked why an image was not shown that would “dispel doubts” about Fran Navarro’s position in the blue-and-whites goal scored by Evanilson at 90’+19.
Benfica statement:
“It is absolutely necessary to clarify the criteria and ensure transparency. It is essential that the reasons for Porto Aroca’s 17-minute stoppage of the match be presented clearly and objectively. Play continues until 22 minutes of extra time have elapsed. 90!
The equalizing goal not only goes beyond stoppage time, but also does not dispel doubts about the position of the striker who scores it. What is the reason? Why were these shots not shown on the air of Sport TV?
In the previous round, we witnessed different criteria in the application of yellow and red cards during the Rio Ave Porto match, with inexplicable forgiveness – all criticism was unanimous – the removal of Estaquio’s player, the match had not yet reached 10 minutes. We can’t forget Musa’s exclusion from Bessa, in which the rules of the Arbitration Board were applied, in defense of the players’ physical integrity, but the question is, shouldn’t strictness apply to everyone? It is important that once and for all the criteria are fine-tuned and that there is full fairness and transparency.”
