Sporting and Porto fined in Cup clash, Cláudio Pereira involved | OneFootball

Sporting was fined over 17,000 euros by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation due to incidents recorded in the classic match against Porto, in the first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, held in Alvalade.

According to the punishment map released by the Portuguese Football Federation, referee Cláudio Pereira was hit on the head by a small glass bottle (5 cl) at the 40th minute of the match. The object was thrown by Sporting fans and, despite the impact, did not cause any physical harm to the match official. In the same minute, a lighter was also thrown onto the pitch.

In addition to these incidents, the report also mentions that Sporting fans threw plastic sticks - used in the choreography at the start of the game - towards Porto's bench. These actions resulted in a fine of 5,100 euros.

The heaviest sanction is related to behaviors in the stands, namely insulting chants and the use of pyrotechnics, including 24 flares and a rocket, which led to an additional penalty of 7,650 euros.

Sporting was also fined 3,978 euros for the entry or presence of unauthorized objects, such as pyrotechnic material and banners exceeding the permitted dimensions. These amounts are joined by other smaller fines: 357 euros for Luís Neto's presence in the technical area without being listed on the match sheet, 102 euros for a delay in restarting the match, 128 euros for the accumulation of yellow cards by captain Morten Hjulmand, and 77 euros for the yellow card shown to Geny Catamo at the 27th minute.
