Tiago Martins, the referee appointed to whistle the final of the League Cup, was the video referee of the classic between Sporting and FC Porto, referring to the 4th day of the League.
The match, played on October 17 last year, which ended with a two-goal draw, was marked by a controversial play in the great area of FC Porto.
Luís Godinho, the referee of the classic, scored a penalty for the lack of Zaidu by Pedro Gonçalves. Then, when consulting the VAR, who at that time was Tiago Martins, he backed down in the decision and took the second yellow card to the FC Porto defender, provoking harsh criticism from Sporting.
«If I am worried [com a nomeação de Tiago Martins para a final]? No, nothing. We made the criticisms, as I have been explaining, I speak for myself and for the technical team. I speak when asked and I say what I think about the game. East [final com SC Braga] it’s a new game, i’m not worried at all. I am focused on what we can do and control. Our goal is to play better, win the match and bring the Cup to Alvalade, ”said Rúben Amorim.
