Porto face disciplinary action for wild behaviour towards Sporting fans | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the FPF announced the opening of disciplinary proceedings against Porto, following the inquiry process regarding the breaking of glass at the Estádio de Alvalade, during the Clássico between the Dragons and Sporting, in the fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

It should be recalled that several supporters of the Alvalade club were injured after the celebration of the first goal by the blue and white team. The injured, all with minor injuries, were mostly treated on site, although one of them was taken to the hospital.

The situation ended up affecting the fans who were watching the match on the lower level, beneath the rival supporters. The incident occurred in the 61st minute, when Luuk de Jong opened the scoring. The euphoria of Porto fans led to the destruction of the glass barrier on Level 1.

It should be noted that the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation did not initiate any disciplinary proceedings against Sporting regarding this episode, considering there was no evidence that the Lions were responsible for the incident in question.

The police forces reported at the time that at least 17 people required medical assistance, and were attended to by firefighters at the scene. There were numerous head injuries in a section of the stadium that included many children watching the match between Sporting and Porto.
