FC Porto want two-match ban for Suárez

FC Porto filed a disciplinary complaint against Luis Suárez, Sporting's forward, following the incidents during the Portuguese Cup classic at Alvalade. The club requested a summary judgment – immediate –, but the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the FPF refused this approach and opted to open a disciplinary process.

The CD justified the refusal by stating that the complaint, although based on television images, does not stem from official reports by the refereeing team or the match delegates.

In the complaint, the blue and white club did not stop at denouncing the alleged "theft" gesture by the Colombian player. The complaint also includes two physical interactions with defender Bednarek: according to FC Porto, Suárez allegedly punched the center-back in the torso and, in another incident, deliberately collided with him, projecting him towards the goalkeeper Diogo Costa, in situations where there was no possibility of contesting the ball.

Based on these facts and under the Disciplinary Regulations, FC Porto argues that Sporting's forward should be sanctioned with at least a two-match suspension.
