After the scandal, Benfica are now forced to pay fine over Porto match | OneFootball

Benfica were fined €9,560 for the improper behaviour of their fans during the Clássico against Porto, played at the Estádio do Dragão. At issue was the throwing of flares from the stands allocated to the Eagles’ supporters.

According to the League delegate’s report, two separate incidents were recorded. The first happened at 8:30 pm, precisely at the scheduled kick-off time. The second occurred at 9:06 pm, shortly after the sending-off of Lenglet, who was shown his second yellow card in the 35th minute.

The Benfica SAD has therefore once again been punished for the use of pyrotechnic devices, just two weeks after being sanctioned for the same reason in the home match against Gil Vicente, which they won 3-1. It should be remembered that Benfica were beaten 3-1 at the Dragão, in a match also marked by several disciplinary incidents.

In that match, played at the Estádio da Luz, Benficawere ordered by the Portuguese Football Federation’s Disciplinary Board to pay a fine of €3,448, bringing the total value of the two fines to €13,008.

In the same case, the Disciplinary Board also opened disciplinary proceedings against Porto following the incidents recorded in the Clássico on 20 September. The Dragons were also fined €26,822, an amount that includes the sanctions imposed on the players following the match.
