Pedro Proença hits out again, Rui Costa forced to spend at Benfica | OneFootball

Benfica - which may have dismissed a market target - was fined nearly 8,000 euros by the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation, led by Pedro Proença. In the list of penalties released this Saturday, December 27, Rui Costa learned that the Clube da Luz will have to pay another hefty fine.

Invoice of nearly 8,000 euros for Benfica

According to the Disciplinary Board's explanations, the issue involves the display of banners (893€) and the use of pyrotechnic devices (7,010€) in the match against Famalicão. In total, Benfica will have to pay an invoice of 7,903 euros to the Portuguese Football Federation.

It's worth remembering that José Mourinho's team triumphed in the reception against the Minho team, 1-0, with a goal by Vangelis Pavlidis. The Greek international's goal came from a penalty awarded for a foul on Nicolás Otamendi, which was validated by all refereeing experts.

Porto and Sporting also under Pedro Proença's scrutiny

Regarding Porto and Sporting, the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation imposed sanctions of nearly 20,000 euros on the Dragons (use of pyrotechnic devices, delay in returning from the locker rooms, and insults to João Pinheiro) and more than 10,000 euros on the Green and Whites (pyrotechnics and offensive chants).

Braga – Benfica is scheduled for next Sunday, December 28, at 6:00 PM, in Minho. The match is part of the 16th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and will be broadcast on Sport TV 2. The Reds are in third place in the competition, with 35 points, three behind Sporting (38) and eight behind Porto (43).
