FC Porto was fined €6,174 following several incidents recorded during the match against Estoril, played last Sunday at the António Coimbra da Mota Stadium.
The largest portion, amounting to €3,190, relates to the “use of explosive or pyrotechnic devices” by its supporters. The second, €1,836, is linked to the “two-minute delay in the start of the second half due to both teams arriving late to the pitch without any apparent justified reason.”
In addition, FC Porto’s SAD will have to pay €1,148 for insults directed at Benfica, Sporting president Frederico Varandas, and Luís Godinho, the referee of the match in Estoril, according to the list of sanctions from the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation:
“a) In the 41st minute of the first half, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: ‘SLB, SLB, sons of a b… SLB’”
“b) at 45+5’ of the second half, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: ‘Varandas, listen, you son of a b…’”
“c) After the end of the match, when the refereeing team was heading to the dressing rooms, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: ‘Godinho, listen, you son of a b…’”
The list of sanctions from the Disciplinary Board also mentions an incident in the FC Porto-Famalicão match that is still awaiting clarification.
