O Santa Clara - Sporting continues to make headlines, now due to the Disciplinary Report that was released last Thursday, November 13, by the Disciplinary Council. The body ended up confirming Henrique's attempted aggression towards Pedro Gonçalves, as the teams were heading to the locker rooms.
"At the end of the game, as the teams were returning to the locker rooms, the home player no. 94 - Henrique approached the visiting player no. 8 Pedro Gonçalves, who was at the entrance of the corridor leading to the visiting locker room and after an exchange of imperceptible words, attempted to punch him, without hitting," reads the situation described by the League delegate, with Henrique ending up punished with a one-game suspension and a fine of 306 euros.
However, there was another attempted aggression: Frederico Varandas was hit with a bottle and, due to this incident, Santa Clara ended up fined 1,224 euros for the crowd's improper behavior.
"After Sporting's second goal, at 90+4 minutes, the home fans seated in the central west stand, sector 4, outside the ZCEAP, identified with shirts, scarves, and chants alluding to the club, threw a plastic bottle with water without a cap, in the direction of Sporting's president, Frederico Varandas, who was in the presidential box. The bottle hit him, wetting his clothes with water," reveals the Disciplinary Report.
Conversely, Luís Neto was also targeted. The assistant coach of Rui Borges ended up being suspended for 30 days - in addition to a fine of 604 euros - for "injury to honor and reputation and slanderous accusation," as well as Rafael Andrade, the Azorean team manager.
"After the end of the game, as the teams returned to the locker rooms, a scuffle broke out between several members of both teams, provoked by the visiting sports agent, Luís Neto, who approached the home coach [Vasco Matos] in an aggressive manner shouting: ‘You won't coach anyone else, you only coach here, what do you want, damn????? The situation was resolved by the security personnel present without any insults or attempted aggressions being noted. About 10 minutes later, already inside the access to the visiting locker room, the same individual shouted to the home sports agents the following: ‘You guys go there, damn????, ‘sons of b????, ‘I’m not afraid of you at all’," described the League delegate.
