Alberto Costa was involved in a fiercely contested duel with Sorriso in the match between FC Porto and Famalicão, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The Dragons’ full-back took to Instagram this Sunday to insist that he did not spit at the Brazilian winger, as some images circulating on social media seemed to suggest.
“After several attempts to distort the truth, I feel compelled to respond to an attack on my sporting integrity. At no point did I spit at my fellow professional, something anyone who knows me is aware I would be incapable of doing. The words were spoken solely in the heat of the moment, as can be seen in the footage. To the Porto fans, thank you for all your support. We move forward together, until the end,” he said.
