In recent years, Lisbon's “Benfica” club has consistently expressed dissatisfaction with referees. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Despite the season just having started, the club's management has begun to doubt the fairness of the referees. In a recent match, “Benfica” defeated the “Alverca” team, but in the middle of the second half, Bosnian defender Amar Dedić received a second yellow card and left the field, leaving the team with ten players.
The club's CEO Mario Branco criticized the refereeing standards, calling it strange that a yellow card is given for every second foul, and emphasized that they are closely monitoring the referees. Currently, “Benfica” is in fourth place in the Portuguese championship standings, but has an additional game to play.
The club's team is carefully studying refereeing practices throughout the season and expects fair evaluations. This situation serves to increase competitiveness in the championship.
