Sporting defeated Santa Clara, 2-1, in the 11th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. Frederico Varandas watched the match from the stands, together with the directors of the Azorean club, but ended up being assaulted by the home fans after Morten Hjulmand’s goal.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, at the moment of Sporting’s winning goal, tempers flared in the stands and a fan threw a water bottle at Frederico Varandas. The Sporting president was unable to dodge it, but left the area safely.
