Despite the good result, Frederico Varandas will have to pay 5,888 euros in fines, according to the list of penalties for the round in question, published by the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), presided over by Pedro Proença.

The majority of the amount in question – 4,460 euros – comes from the behavior of Sporting’s fans. According to the document, several pyrotechnic devices were set off, including flares, flashlights, firecrackers, and smoke pots, all prohibited by the competition’s regulations.

In addition to the use of pyrotechnics, Sporting was also fined for a banner displayed in sector A14. “Eternal longing... attendance criteria”, read the sign, after the Alvalade club announced official changes to the purchase of tickets for away games.

Of the remaining amount (1,428 euros comes from the delay in the restart of the second half of the match. Both teams took longer than expected to return to the pitch, so the game started three minutes later than scheduled.
