Pedro Proença forces Sporting to pay thousands of euros | OneFootball

Sporting was one of the clubs targeted by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation, after the 15th round of the League. The issue was the "improper behavior" recorded in the stands of the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, a match that the lions won 4-1.

The match report states that the use of pyrotechnic devices and chants considered offensive were factors that prompted the intervention of the organization and the consequent financial penalty to the Alvalade Club of around 11 thousand euros (9,560 for the use of pyrotechnics and 1,467 for offensive chants).

According to the published punishment map, Porto was also forced to pay almost 20 thousand euros in fines. Of this amount, 5,738 relates to the use of pyrotechnics, 10,200 for throwing torches onto the pitch, 1,116 for insults to referee João Pinheiro, and 2,754 for the delay in starting the match. Meanwhile, the behavior of Benfica fans in the game against Famalicão resulted in a fine of nearly 8 thousand euros for the Luz club.

On the field, Sporting responded in the best way, with a solid performance, despite being disadvantaged. Francisco Trincão opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, and Fotis Ioannidis increased the lead in the 42nd. In the second half, Telmo Arcanjo reduced the deficit for the Vimaranenses in the 50th minute, but Juan Castillo, with an own goal in the 63rd, and Maxi Araújo, in the 79th, sealed the victory.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Sunday, December 28, against Rio Ave. The match, counting for the 16th round of the National Championship, against the team led by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played at 8:30 PM in Alvalade.
