Big disappointment for Monaco last night, who led twice at home against Benfica before finally losing (3-2). A big opportunity to get closer to a place in the Top 8 has therefore passed and on the Monegasque side, we are furious. Because this defeat was precipitated by a second yellow for Singo which complicated things.
But it is more precisely the first warning for Singo, warned with several players of a blow at the end of the first period, which causes the annoyance. “It happened too quickly for me. Football brings a lot of emotions. He gives four yellow cards (three for Monaco, one for Kerem Aktürkoglu) at the same time, it's too many. I think you have to stay calm and communicate. He exaggerated a little,” pointed out Adi Hütter before refusing to go any further. “I don’t want to talk about the refereeing. I have my opinion but I don't want to talk about it. »
Too hasty sanctions from the referee?
In comments relayed by RMC Sport, Breel Embolo then took over this annoyance. “When you give our defenders yellows for fouls in the middle and when you see what I took in the first half and the referee didn't give anything, it's a bit hard. (…) You lose the match by two or three slightly stupid errors but also with a little help from the referee. You get a yellow in the 58th minute for a foul in midfield where even the (opposing) player doesn't expect it… it changes the course of the match. (…) Our captain (Zakaria) – who has the right to speak to the referee – will speak to him and take yellow, our second captain (Kehrer) will speak to him and he takes yellow,” railed the Monegasque striker against the microphones.

On the Monaco side, we were furious last night after a defeat against Benfica where the refereeing played a very important role. Indeed, the red given to Singo changed the course of the match, with yellows considered too hasty previously.
