Sporting press disciplinary charge against Porto player | OneFootball

Sporting will move forward with a disciplinary complaint against Alberto Costa following the events recorded in the match between Porto and Famalicão. At issue is an alleged spit by the full-back at Sorriso, in an incident that has sparked major controversy.

The Alvalade club chose not to make any statements about the refereeing of the match, which ended in a draw (2-2), but decided to act behind the scenes. Without any official comments, Sporting’s officials chose to file a formal complaint, showing their dissatisfaction with what happened and seeking disciplinary action.

The episode comes after other similar cases involving the two rivals, namely when Porto filed complaints against Morten Hjulmand and Luis Suárez in previous matches. Now, the Lisbon club is following the same path.

The incident allegedly involved a spit in Sorriso’s direction, something he himself confirmed. Alberto Costa, however, denied any such intention, assuring that he would not be capable of such behaviour, leaving the case now in the hands of the disciplinary bodies.

On top of that, Sérgio Guelho’s performance in the match corresponding to the 28th round of Liga Portugal Betclic was criticised by pundits. Both Jorge Faustino and Marco Ferreira gave the refereeing team a rating of 2 (See HERE).
