Moreirense-Benfica: «It was clear and obvious for the VAR that it was a penalty»

Now10 September 2026 at 17:44

Moreirense and Benfica starred in a match that was marked by a VAR decision regarding a penalty. The play in question was considered clear and obvious by the video referee system.

Gonçalo Monteiro was one of the voices that commented on the play, defending that the VAR decision was the correct one. The commentator emphasized the transparency of the technological intervention in that specific play.

However, Monteiro took the opportunity to make a broader criticism. He stated that he does not like to see a coach who appears to be at the theater or opera, in a reference to the exaggerated behavior on the part of some coaches in the stands.

The article does not specify what exact play originated the discussion nor does it identify the coach to whom Monteiro's words are directly addressed.
