“No balls found in flares” in Luís Godinho’s report on FC Porto-Sporting | OneFootball

In the match report, Luís Godinho recorded the removal of balls and signal markers by some FC Porto ball boys during the classic match against Sporting.

“After the 93rd minute, there was a lack of balls at the signal markers,” reads the document signed by the AF Évora referee, a situation that prompted Sporting's complaint and the opening of a disciplinary process by the FPF.

In addition to the suspension of the match in the first half due to the “dense smoke” caused by the use of pyrotechnics, Luís Godinho justified the expulsion of the coaches Lino Godinho, from FC Porto, and Fernando Morato, from Sporting: “He deliberately left the technical area to act in a provocative or inflammatory manner towards members of the opposing team.”

The match referee also noted the offering of “a FC Porto jersey to each member of the refereeing team,” a customary gesture by the Dragons and other teams.
