The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation fined Sporting 7,655 euros. At issue are several incidents that took place following the home match against Gil Vicente, last Saturday, in the 34th round of the league.
According to the list of sanctions released by the institution, the green-and-white side was punished due to improper crowd behavior in the stands and the unauthorized entry of sporting staff into the technical area.
According to the report, released this Thursday, the entry of pyrotechnic devices and banners with dimensions larger than the legally permitted 1m by 1m, displayed in the 30th minute of the match, with the following message: "28Years" and "5898" and, in the 70th minute: "Son, Brother and Friend, deprived but never forgotten" and "Freedom for our lions", resulted in a fine of around 3,190 euros.
This amount doubles due to the improper behavior of the crowd during the match: 5 flares used in the 70th minute and one firecracker used in the 59th minute of the game. As has often been the case this season, Sporting has been heavily punished by the Disciplinary Board due to supporters' behavior.
As for the rest, a fine of 1,275 euros was also imposed for the unauthorized presence in the technical area of Luís Neto, Pedro Cardoso and José Meireles, who were only authorized to remain there until the start of the match and at halftime. In addition to this sanction, each of these three individuals will have to pay an already established amount of 3,190€, 459€ and 459€, respectively.
