CD open disciplinary case against Hjulmand after FC Porto complaint | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Hjulmand, captain of Sporting, following a complaint lodged by FC Porto. In the Portuguese Cup quarter-final match between Sporting and Santa Clara, the Dane suffered a foul by Galletto, which was signaled by referee André Narciso, and, following the incident, struck his opponent in the face with his foot—a gesture that FC Porto considers to constitute aggression.

FC Porto argued that Hjulmand’s movement was unnatural and unrelated to any contest for the ball, emphasizing to the Disciplinary Council that this perception was not exclusive, having been shared by AVS SAD officials present at the match and discussed in the media. In light of the complaint, the Disciplinary Council determined that the reported facts could be of disciplinary interest and ordered the opening of proceedings.
