Diogo Costa blunders and shows Benfica no respect, Porto keeper risks ban | OneFootball

Diogo Costa, Porto's goalkeeper, displayed a Super Dragons scarf in Vila do Conde, with the message "Better dead than red". The unusual situation occurred after the dragons' victory over Rio Ave (3-0) on Friday, and it has been a hot topic.

Reactions on social media were swift. The 26-year-old Portuguese international was surprised, as the back of the accessory, which is what Diogo Costa sees when he poses for fans, only says "Super Dragons". The controversy has caused quite a stir.

With the Porto - Benfica Classic two rounds away, it remains to be seen how the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation views this situation, that is, whether or not they consider there to be any wrongdoing on the part of the blue and white player.

Diogo Costa only realized later the provocation to the rival that was on the front of the accessory, which was given to him when the Super Dragons sang him happy birthday on the day he turned 26. The case will now be assessed in the coming days.

At this moment, Benfica has 13 points in five games in the Liga Portugal Betclic. José Mourinho's team - who defeated AFS - currently holds the second place. Porto, led by Francesco Farioli, is the first in the standings with 18 points (one more game).

José Mourinho says he has a great fondness for Porto:
