Luis Suárez fined, Sporting striker forced to pay up | OneFootball

Sporting was once again sanctioned for returning late for the second half of the clash against Rio Ave (4-0). The repeat offense led the Disciplinary Board to impose a fine of 3,570 euros on the Lions, based on the incidents recorded in the reports of referee Bruno Costa and the League delegates.

The delay in returning to the pitch was not, however, exclusive to the Sporting side. The Vila do Conde club also failed to comply with the scheduled time for the restart of the match, but ended up receiving a much lower fine, set at 790 euros.

The match played at the Estádio dos Arcos ended in a 4-0 win for Sporting, in a game in which the visitors built a comfortable lead in the first half. Flávio Gonçalves opened the scoring in the fifth minute, before Geny Catamo doubled the advantage in the 19th minute.

The disciplinary warning also had financial consequences for the Colombian, who will have to pay a fine of 77 euros, according to the regulations in force. In this way, Sporting once again picks up another sanction for the delay in the restart, in an episode that has already become recurring.
