Benfica lodge complaint with the League over fans’ late entry at Dragão | OneFootball

Benfica released a statement in the early hours of this Monday, announcing that it will file a complaint with Liga Portugal regarding the Clássico played at Estádio do Dragão against FC Porto (0-0), a match corresponding to the 8th round of the Primeira Liga.

The source of the board's dissatisfaction is related to the late entry of many fans into the stadium stands.

“Sport Lisboa e Benfica thanks its fans for the unwavering support shown throughout the entire match at Estádio do Dragão and deeply regrets that many were only able to access the seats they paid for when the first half was already practically over,” the club began in its official statement, before addressing the League.

“A league that aims to be a reference cannot allow failures of this nature, especially when they affect those who contribute most to its greatness and spectacle: the fans. Sport Lisboa e Benfica will formally file a complaint with Liga Portugal and demand accountability for this unacceptable poor service provided to its fans,” Benfica concluded.
