Maxi Araújo’s ban revealed after Santa Clara v Sporting | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo learned last Thursday, November 13, that he was suspended for one match after being sent off in the final stages of the game between Sporting and Santa Clara in the Azores, a match that the Lions ended up winning 2-1, thanks to a goal by Morten Hjulmand in stoppage time.

However, the Uruguayan international was not the only one punished from this match, as the List of Suspensions released by the Disciplinary Council mentions a 'wave' of suspensions, resulting from the heated emotions at the dramatic end of the match.

The document made public also reveals attempted assaults and harsher punishments for other Sporting figures – Luís Neto, from the technical staff, will be suspended for a period of 30 days – but the incidents did not stop there.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Maxi Araújo – valued at 17 million euros – has played 13 matches. Over the 964 minutes he has been used by Rui Borges, the Uruguayan international has scored one goal and provided one assist.

The green and white team will return to the field only on Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, part of the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Rui Sacramento, will be played at 18:00 in Alvalade.
