FC Porto publicly criticized José Bessa's refereeing in the match against Casa Pia, leaving their complaints in the official match report published on the club's website. The dragons expressed their displeasure with a decision they consider to have been favorable to the opposing team.
The main issue concerned a penalty awarded against FC Porto, which resulted from an "alleged foul" on a Casa Pia player. Following this action, the Casa Pia goalkeeper allegedly punched defender Bednarek during the penalty kick.
The Porto club did not hold back in its criticism of referee José Bessa's performance, considering that the decision to award the penalty was incorrect. This is not the first time this season that FC Porto has publicly expressed its discontent with refereeing decisions.
The match report against Casa Pia thus served as a platform for FC Porto to convey its position regarding the incident, hoping that similar situations will be avoided in future matches in the competition.
