Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has faulted the center referee’s decision to send him off in Benfica’s 2-2 draw against Porto on Sunday.
The game was overshadowed by Mourinho’s red card in the second half after he was adjudged to have kicked a ball towards the away bench.
Reacting after the game, the Portuguese tactician disputed the reason for his dismissal, insisting the decision was based on an incorrect interpretation of his actions.

“The referee said he sent me off because I kicked a ball towards the FC Porto substitutes’ bench.
“That’s completely false. Many times, in our goals, I kick the ball towards the stands to give a lucky fan a chance. I know I’m not very good technically, but it was meant for the stands.
“I was wrongly sent off. The fourth official did a terrible job throughout the game and continues to do so when I told the referee that.”
