The Disciplinary Board opened disciplinary proceedings against Porto following the Clássico against Benfica, played on September 20 at the Estádio do Dragão. The Dragons were also fined €26,822, a figure that also includes the sanctions applied to the players.

The largest fine, €10,200, is related to objects being thrown toward the Benfica bench area. According to the report, in the 38th minute, Ricardo Rocha, an assistant for the Eagles listed on the match sheet, was hit by “a piece of stale bread, wrapped in paper”.

The document also mentions the throwing of cups, plastic bottles and poles used in the opening choreography toward the Reds' bench. None of those objects caused interruptions or hit other members of the Benfica team. In the 60th minute, a bottle was also thrown onto the pitch, without hitting any sporting official.

Insulting chants aimed at Benfica resulted in an additional fine of €1,403. The report identifies several moments, before kickoff and in the 22nd, 27th, 37th, 49th, 57th and 58th minutes, when the chants were sung by fans in the South Stand, in sectors 8 and 9.
