VAR merit
Luís Godinho, who is a very good referee, had an extremely complicated night, also boosted by the disciplinary criteria he initially chose and which he was unable to maintain until the end of the game. Technically he was almost always fine, although in two relevant moments he was saved by the competence of his VAR, João Pinheiro. No one can doubt the importance that technology has at the service of sport.
Referee Score: 5
Below is a technical analysis of the most relevant moves of the match:
15’ – Godinho considered that Ristic’s offense against Otávio was unsportsmanlike, but he was wrong. The fault existed, but did not justify a warning. From here, the native was held hostage to criteria that, in a game like this, he could hardly meet.
16’ – Yellow card well shown to João Mário, after carelessly tripping Pepê.
19’ – The ball touched Eustaquio’s right arm, which was next to his body and in a natural position. The midfielder was under pressure from Aursnes, who previously hit him in the face with a left hand without a foul being called. Ball contact on the arm occurred outside the area.
21’ – Zaidu touched the ball and then Bah, knocking the opponent down. The reading is accepted that he did not do it negligently.
27’ – Kokçu prevented Taremi from speeding and saw the yellow card well.
28’ – Wrong reading of Godinho’s warning to Namaso. The Porto striker did not commit a foul on Otamendi.
29’ – Offside for Rafa in a bid that seemed well decided, but which contradicted the indications that require that this type
decisions should only occur at the end of the turn.
33’ – Pepe took down Rafa, committing a well-marked foul. The infraction itself (touching from behind) did not warrant a warning, but the truth is that it prevented a promising attack. Ahead of the striker was only Marcano. Well the referee by warning him.
43’ – Bah touched Galeno’s foot, preventing the winger from positioning himself in a privileged area. Yellow well shown.
45+1’ – Pepê did what he shouldn’t (prevented the opponent from restarting the game). The warning, unnecessary, was inevitable.
49’ – Ball crossed by Aursnes touched Taremi’s arm (which was behind his back) and then Namaso’s chest. Neither of them committed an infraction, as some red players wrongly asked.
49’ – João Neves grabbed Grujic, incurring unsportsmanlike behavior. You have been well warned.
50’ – João Neves knocked Taremi down in the middle zone and in a reckless way. Eustaquio will have gone too far in the protests and was shown a yellow card.
55’ – Zaidu jumped from afar and in a risky way on Bah, knocking him down. The negligent infraction was well punished with warning.
57’ – António Silva aimed at the ball, but it only hit Taremi’s leg. The non-warning is accepted, although in previous moments the disciplinary rigor has not been identical.
65’ – Neves took down Zaidu. The move was reckless, but the midfielder risked it due to the fact that he accumulated some infractions throughout the game.
80’ – Pepe, unable to dispute the bid, carried Rafa from behind, with his right knee on the thigh/buttock. The bid was technically punished, but his negligence warranted a warning. The referee made a mistake by not showing him the second yellow card.
84’ – Chiquinho took down Romário Baró in an unsportsmanlike manner and was well warned.
90+1’ – Pepe could have avoided the knee he deliberately landed on Jurásek. The referee didn’t see it, but VAR was right to propose the expulsion of the defender for violent conduct.
90+3’ – Goal well annulled against FC Porto, after Gonçalo Borges dominated the ball with his right arm, at the beginning of the play. The move was not seen on the field, but once again it was well detected by the video referee.
90+8’ – The FC Porto coach opted not to leave the field of play after being expelled. In these cases, the arbitrator must exhaust all diplomatic avenues at his disposal, which he did very well. The Laws of the Game give you discretion to end the match and mention the facts in the report if any technical element refuses to leave the field of play. Fortunately it wasn’t necessary.
