Pedro Proença's FPF fines Benfica thousands of euros | OneFootball

Benfica defeated Tondela 3-0. Despite the good result, Rui Costa will have to pay 17 thousand euros in fines, according to the list of sanctions for the round in question, released by the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).

The majority of the amount in question – 15,935 euros – stems from the behavior of Benfica’s supporters. According to the document, several pyrotechnic devices were set off, including flares, flashlights, firecrackers, and smoke pots, all of which are prohibited by the competition’s regulations.

6,375 euros are due to the entry of the aforementioned pyrotechnic devices into Estádio da Luz. For their use, Rui Costa will have to pay 9,560 euros, with the remainder of the amount resulting from a banner congratulating the Hajduk Split supporters group: "Sretan 75 Rodendan Braca" (Happy 75th birthday, brothers!).

The Eagles now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen. The match, which will take place at Estádio da Luz, is scheduled for next Wednesday, November 5th, with kickoff set for 8:00 pm.

At this point, José Mourinho’s men have six points in the Champions League and are in 35th place in the UEFA competition’s table. In the first three matches, Benfica lost to Qarabag (3-2), Chelsea (1-0), and Newcastle (3-0).
