Sporting v Nacional: hefty fine on the cards, here’s why | OneFootball

Sporting learned this Thursday, March 12, that it was fined €3,060 by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation following incidents that occurred during the match against Nacional, pertaining to the 20th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

During the goal celebration, some Sporting fans approached the bench of the Madeira team and created moments of tension. According to the disciplinary report, members of the crowd punched the bench structure and hurled insults at Nacional players and officials: "Sons of b..., you're going to get f...," it reads.

After reviewing the case, the Disciplinary Council decided to impose a fine of €3,060 on the Alvalade club, an amount that was increased due to the recurrence of this type of behavior by the green and white fans.

The green and white team will return to the field next Tuesday, March 17, once again against Bodø/Glimt. The match, counting for the second leg of this round of the Champions League against the Norwegian side, will be played at 5:45 p.m. at Estádio José Alvalade.
