FC Porto fined after controversy with Fábio Veríssimo in Braga clash | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation announced this Sunday that it imposed a fine of 12,750 euros on FC Porto, as part of the proceedings initiated after the match against SC Braga on November 2, 2025, resulting from a complaint by Fábio Veríssimo, who accused the team of pressuring the referee.

At the center of the issue is the television case reported by Fábio Veríssimo after the match. The referee stated that in the locker room, a television was set to repeatedly replay a foul by Jan Bednarek on Lukas Hornicek, which led him to disallow a goal scored by Victor Froholdt for FC Porto. "The television remote did not allow it to be turned off, and the television buttons did not work," the referee wrote in his report.

In a statement, the Disciplinary Council considered that FC Porto violated Article 118 of the League's Disciplinary Regulations, specifically paragraph b), which outlines situations in which clubs should be sanctioned: "When their conduct results in a breach of the principles of sports ethics, sports truth, or causes serious harm to the image and good name of football competitions."
