The Disciplinary Council imposed fines on FC Porto and Benfica totaling 24,222 euros for infractions that occurred during the Portuguese Cup round of 16 classic. FC Porto was fined 17,239 euros, while Benfica will have to pay 6,983 euros.

In addition to the usual fines for cards shown during the match, the blue and whites are liable for 8,670 euros due to improper conduct by their supporters, namely the use of pyrotechnics, insulting chants, and throwing banners towards Benfica players and staff members, including Simão Sabrosa.

The club was also fined 3,978 euros for displaying provocative banners directed at Rui Costa and José Mourinho and for bringing pyrotechnics into Estádio do Dragão (six flashlights, 24 flares/smoke bombs, and five firecrackers). To this amount, an additional 2,040 euros was added due to flares thrown onto the pitch by the Super Dragões, which delayed the resumption of the match when it was interrupted in the second half.

In addition to 357 euros for unauthorized persons entering the technical area, FC Porto will also have to pay 1,530 euros for improper use of the sound system by the stadium announcer. At different moments, according to the League delegate's report, he said: “And whoever doesn’t jump is a lampião” (repeated three times and on two occasions); “Everyone jump, everyone jump” with the stadium responding in unison: “Benfica is shit, Benfica is shit” (on two occasions); and “Porto, Porto, Porto”.
