Frederico Varandas faces fine; Sporting president plots against Porto | OneFootball

6,174 euros was the amount of the fine imposed on Porto. The hefty amount is due to the numerous incidents that occurred in the match against Estoril Praia, played last Sunday at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, in the 29th round of the Portuguese League.

The largest share, 3,190 euros, was due to the “use of explosive or pyrotechnic devices” by supporters of the visiting team. The second, amounting to 1,836 euros, relates to the “two-minute delay to the start of the second half due to both teams being late returning to the pitch, without any apparently justified reason”.

Also off the field, Porto’s SAD was fined 1,148 euros due to insults directed at Benfica, Frederico Varandas - Sporting’s president - and Luís Godinho, referee of the Estoril–Porto match, as disclosed in the sanctions report of the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation:

a) In the 41st minute of the first half, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: “SLB, SLB, sons of a b... SLB”

b) At 45+5' of the second half, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: “Varandas, listen, you’re a son of a b...”

c) After the end of the match, when the refereeing team was heading to the changing rooms, they chanted in unison, clearly, audibly and perceptibly, the following phrase: “Godinho, listen, you’re a son of a b...”

The sanctions report of the Disciplinary Board also refers to an incident that occurred in the Porto - Famalicão match, a game in which the blue-and-white side ended up drawing at the Estádio do Dragão, and which is awaiting clarification.
