Sporting and Benfica have been fined over April's Alvalade derby, with Sporting facing close to €48,000 and Benfica just over €12,000 for crowd offences including pyrotechnics.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Portuguese Football Federation's disciplinary board set out the penalties on Saturday for the 31st round meeting.

Benfica were cited for the use of pyrotechnics and improper conduct by travelling supporters, including incidents of violence.

The report also noted a Benfica fan who was refused entry to Estádio José Alvalade after a blood alcohol reading of 1.78 g/l, a matter recorded by the authorities.

Sporting were sanctioned for pyrotechnics, offensive chanting and behaviour deemed improper among those in the stands.

The document further highlighted Luis Suárez's appearance in the flash interview, as the Colombian forward was not on Sporting's initial list of nominated players to speak, resulting in another infraction.
