Sporting beat Alverca 2-0, but still face punishment | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Alverca 2-0 in the last round of the National Championship, but did not escape a 'penalty' from the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation amounting to 5,888 euros, according to the punishment map that oversees football in Portugal.

A large part of the amount in question - 4,460 euros - results from the behavior of Sporting fans. According to the document, several pyrotechnic devices were ignited, including flares, flashlights, firecrackers, and smoke pots, which are prohibited by the competition regulations.

In addition to the open pyrotechnics, Sporting was also fined for a banner displayed in sector A14. "Eternal longing... attendance criteria", read the message, after the Alvalade Club announced official changes in the purchase of tickets for away games.

The remaining amount (1,428 euros) is due to the delay in the restart of the second half of the match. Both teams took longer than expected to return to the field, causing the game to start three minutes after the scheduled time.

Sporting will return to the field this Saturday, November 8, against Santa Clara, in a match related to the 11th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 8:30 PM, at the Estádio de São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada.
