Benfica was fined a slightly less than four thousand euros, due to the behavior of the fans during the match against Santa Clara, counting for the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The eagles did not go beyond a one-ball draw in that match and the stands of the Luz Stadium did not hide the displeasure.

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation, headed by Pedro Proença, recently revealed the fines applied to the clubs of the Liga Portugal Betclic, referring to the games of the last round of the national championship.

In the spotlight, comes Benfica. Of this total fine applied to the Luz Club, the largest portion - about 3,185 euros - is due to the use of explosive or pyrotechnic devices by fans who watched the game in the north stand, floor 0, sector 26. The delegate pointed out in his report, the detonation of several flashlights and incandescent torches.

The remaining amount of the fine comes due to the treatment towards Gabriel Batista, goalkeeper of Santa Clara. At three different moments, during the goal kick, the insults thrown at the goalkeeper of the Azorean team were clear, something that also resulted in a fine for Benfica.
