FC Porto to file complaint against Sporting | OneFootball

FC Porto is set to file a disciplinary complaint against Sporting following incidents that occurred in last Saturday's classic match at the José Alvalade Stadium.

The complaint is related to the throwing of objects that hit Zaidu, William Gomes, and Froholdt during the celebrations of FC Porto's goals. Zaidu even required assistance in the facial area, a few minutes after Luuk de Jong's goal.

The three Porto players claimed to have been hit by lighters, but the league delegate only mentioned Zaidu's case in the official report of the classic match. For this reason, FC Porto's report to the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation will also include the incidents involving the Brazilian winger and the Danish midfielder.

The blue and whites believe that the episodes fall under articles 179 and 181 of the disciplinary regulations of competitions organized by Liga Portugal. Being an assault by Sporting fans on a player, the lion club may be punished "with the sanction of playing games behind closed doors to be set between a minimum of one and a maximum of two games and, additionally, with the sanction of a fine to be set between a minimum of 50 UC and a maximum of 150 UC".

Some Sporting fans have already been identified by the authorities for throwing objects onto the pitch.

FC Porto won last Saturday's classic, from the 4th round of the League, by 2-1.
