Benfica hit out at penalty decision for rivals: that's just too easy
The main Portuguese clubs "like" to use social media to criticize refereeing decisions.
In third place in the Portuguese Championship, Benfica reinforced this "habit" this Friday (27).
The Reds were not at all pleased with the awarding of a penalty that made the difference for Porto to beat Arouca and remain the league's isolated leader.
The match held at Estádio do Dragão was tied 1-1 when the incident involving Yellu Santiago, from the visiting team, and Seko Fofana occurred.
Referee Iancu Vasilica understood that Santiago tackled the opponent inside the area, awarding the penalty already at 43 minutes of the final stage.
The play was reviewed by VAR, which did not change the field decision.
São Paulo's own William Gomes took the penalty and put Porto ahead at 46'.

And Benfica did not hold back. See below:
The post divided the fans, with many supporters criticizing it.
Porto would score another, this time with Terem Moffi, securing the 3-1 on the scoreboard.
Pietuszewski scored the first of the game in just 14 seconds, marking the fastest goal in the history of Estádio do Dragão. And Nais Djouahra scored the consolation goal for the current 11th place.
The victory took the team led by Farioli to 65 points. Benfica has 55, is in third place, and will visit Gil Vicente (5th) on Sunday (1).
Sporting's Gem Made a 'Joke'
The next game this Friday in the Portuguese league saw Sporting win, beating Estoril 3-0 and staying four points behind Porto.
And there was a player from the Lions commenting on the controversial penalty awarded to the rival.
Geovany Quenda, who was not available, posted a "hand it over" and several emojis about the incident in question.
Understanding that Porto was being favored in the race for the trophy.
The young 18-year-old forward - who is already sold to Chelsea for 45 million euros - later deleted the post.

What a good banter, huh?
Can you imagine if this 'trend' catches on in Brazilian football?
