Breaking news! Pedro Proença hands Sporting an unprecedented punishment | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation, chaired by Pedro Proença, condemned Sporting to the partial closure of the Alvalade Stadium (Sector A17) for one game. This decision is due to incidents during the match against Porto, when fans allegedly threw various objects onto the field - the same body recently awarded two members of the green and white team.

"In cumulative terms, the defendant is sentenced to a temporary ban of sector A17, North Stand, for one (1) game, along with a fine of 150 (one hundred and fifty) UC, which corresponds to (…) the amount of €15,300.00 (fifteen thousand three hundred euros)," the Disciplinary Council's ruling begins.

The issue involves practices of "simple assaults affecting the game for a period equal to or less than 10 minutes," which resulted not only in the stadium ban but also in a fine of €5,100, "already accounting for the aggravating circumstance of recidivism." There is also another penalty for "throwing an object without affecting the game," with a fine of €10,200.

Subsequently, some moments justifying the punishment are detailed, including situations involving Zaidu and William Gomes. Continuing: "The throwing of objects did not hit any player or other sports agents, as they fell on the field without causing any disruption to the course of the said game (...) Despite such behaviors being prohibited by the sports disciplinary order, the defendant (Sporting SAD) did not do everything in its power to prevent them."

In the same document, the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation, chaired by Pedro Proença, ended up acquitting Sporting of the accusation of "serious assaults on spectators and other participants." It is also worth mentioning that the Alvalade Club was absolved of any responsibility for the 17 fans who ended up injured during the match, due to the celebrations of Porto supporters, which caused glass breakage that injured the green and white fans.
