Sporting alert: Cláudio Pereira’s Clássico report and Suárez update | OneFootball

The gesture by Luis Suárez at the end of the first half of the classic match between Sporting and Porto, held this Tuesday at Alvalade and related to the first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, was not mentioned in the referee Cláudio Pereira's report, reveals the newspaper A Bola.

The incident occurred after a play between Alberto Costa and Geny Catamo, at a moment when Sporting players were demanding a second yellow card for the player from the blue and whites. Following the play, Suárez made a gesture associated with “theft” towards one of the cameras, a situation captured by the television broadcast.

The gesture drew criticism from Porto, especially from president André Villas-Boas, who reacted at the end of the match and announced the intention to file a complaint with the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation.

Since the episode is not included in the official reports from the refereeing team, any potential sanction can only arise following this formal submission by the dragons. If the complaint is received by the Disciplinary Council, an inquiry or disciplinary process may be opened, which will follow the usual procedures and include hearings of the parties involved.
