Porto complaint: Disciplinary case opened against Sporting player | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council has already opened a disciplinary process against Morten Hjulmand, captain of Sporting, following a complaint made by Porto. It should be recalled that, in the quarter-final match of the Portuguese Cup between the Lions and Santa Clara, the Dane suffered a foul by Galletto, which was signaled by referee André Narciso, and, in the aftermath of his movement, struck his opponent in the face with his foot, in a manner that the Dragons consider to constitute aggression.

As reported by the newspaper Record, in Porto's view, Hjulmand's movement was unnatural and outside any context of ball dispute, also highlighting to the Disciplinary Council that the perception of a disciplinary offense is not theirs alone, but was shared by the AFS SAD officials present at the match and discussed in the media.

It should be noted that the number 42 recently became a father, but did not miss training with the team led by Rui Borges, remaining in the plans for the trip to Pedreira. The midfielder had previously arranged family matters to ensure his presence at the training camp and to travel north with the squad.

The green and white team will take the field this Saturday, March 7, against Braga. The match, part of the 25th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the Estádio Municipal de Braga at 18:00.

This season, wearing Sporting's shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 34 matches: 21 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 3,092 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Lions' captain has scored two goals and provided five assists.
