Benfica demands a thorough investigation into the expulsion of forward Jhon Durán
Benfica is demanding a thorough investigation into the red card issued to forward Jhon Durán after a match against Santa Clara. The club argues that the referee's justification for the expulsion is unfounded, as it was based on unperceived words and lacks evidence of aggression. Benfica highlights previous incidents of referee misconduct and insists that this situation must be addressed seriously. Following the match, the club confirmed it would seek to overturn Durán's penalty, and he remains in contention for the upcoming match against Gil Vicente despite uncertainty about his participation. Other expulsions occurred during the match, including staff from both teams.
