In the 1-4 win over Sporting Braga on home soil, Joao Felix was in the starting line-up and, although he did not score, he was instrumental in securing three very important points for Benfica.
But in addition to posting a good performance, he has now been labelled as a 'diver' after seemingly simulating a foul.
It happened in the 57th minute, when the match was 1-0 for the home side. Joao Felix fell in the area against an opponent and the referee indicated a penalty. In addition, the youngster put his hand to hid ankle and seemed to have done damage in the tackle... but there was no injury, only simulation.
