PSP: Benfica fan clashes at Dragão, report to FPF (Video) | OneFootball

The Public Security Police (PSP) confirmed that the disturbances that occurred in the area designated for Benfica fans at the Dragão stadium resulted from clashes between two supporter groups of Clube da Luz. Everything seems to have escalated during the halftime of the game against Porto, which ended in a goalless draw.

According to information provided by the newspaper Record, the scenes of violence at the Dragão stadium arose from the confrontation between members of the Diabos Vermelhos and the No Name Boys, two supporter groups associated with Benfica. The origin appears to be old disputes between the two organized fan groups.

A source from the Porto District Command also informed that the report on the disturbances at the Dragão stadium is being prepared, to be sent as soon as possible to the Portuguese Football Federation, which will then decide whether the events warrant a fine for Benfica.

According to a source from the newspaper Record, "the PSP did not make any arrests or identifications, as there were no conditions for it." The truth is that the police officers assigned to that area of the stadium did not need to act, considering that the disturbances ended quickly.

Except for the use of pyrotechnics, the PSP revealed that the security operation was successful at the Porto - Benfica match, with the only notable situation being these clashes between Benfica supporters, which, fortunately, ended without serious consequences for anyone present at the stadium.
