CD open disciplinary case against Hjulmand after FC Porto complaint | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council has initiated a disciplinary process against Hjulmand, the captain of Sporting, following a complaint filed by FC Porto. In the quarter-final match of the Portuguese Cup between Sporting and Santa Clara, the Dane was fouled by Galletto, as signaled by referee André Narciso, and in the aftermath of the incident, he struck the opponent in the face with his foot – an action that FC Porto considers to be an act of aggression.

FC Porto argued that Hjulmand's movement was unnatural and unrelated to any attempt to play the ball, emphasizing to the Disciplinary Council that this perception was not exclusive, having been shared by the AVS SAD officials present at the game and discussed in the media. In light of the complaint, the Disciplinary Council determined that the reported facts could be of disciplinary interest and ordered the opening of the process.
