Mourinho and Lucho clash, Argentine hit with one-match ban and eight days after Benfica-FC Porto

Mourinho and Lucho were both sent off in the Benfica-FC Porto clássico, and the Porto assistant has now been banned.

According to O Jogo, the FPF Disciplinary Council gave Lucho González a one-match suspension for deliberately leaving his technical area to act provocatively, reacting to provocation from Benfica coach Mourinho, then confronting him.
