His studs are nowhere near Vini's knee at any point that I can see. They're facing downward most of the time and only really rise up after his foot is past the left leg.

Agree that it's 100% an intentional foul, and no attempt at the ball, but that's not enough for a red card.

At the speed of the tackle, it's fine margins that saved his knee.

Think we'll have to agree to disagree - for me he swings his foot across in front of Vini, but never actually at him.

There is more to violence than just studs. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a professional athlete who relies on things like ACLs and MCLs to, you know, not be torn.

I only mentioned studs because the comment I replied to did.
