The classic between SL Benfica and Sporting CP, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the Reds, was marked by an unusual episode that only gained prominence later.
In the 37th minute, referee João Pinheiro showed Morten Hjulmand a yellow card. The Leo midfielder reacted immediately with protests, raising his arms in a sign of protest.
Up close, Fredrik Aursnes began applauding the referee’s decision and, soon after, ironically imitated Hjulmand’s gestures, also raising his arms, in a moment interpreted as provocation.
Hahahahaha
