Defeat still stings, Benfica moan on: Samu ban sought for attack on Bah | OneFootball

Benfica submitted a complaint to the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation requesting punishment for Samu, alleging an assault on Alexander Bah during the Clássico won by FC Porto at the Dragão. The news was first reported this Saturday by the newspaper Record and confirmed by Desporto ao Minuto.

The incident is said to have taken place near the touchline, deep into stoppage time of the match played on the 20th.

Images shared on social media in recent hours show FC Porto’s Spanish forward striking Benfica’s Danish full-back from behind.

It was on the basis of these images that the Lisbon club decided to move forward with the complaint, seeking punishment for the Porto player.

The incident also sparked a tense moment between the players, with referee Miguel Nogueira showing yellow cards to Bah, Tomás Araújo and Pietuszewski.
