Boos at Lobo Antunes tribute cost FC Porto over €6,000 in fines | OneFootball

FC Porto was fined 9,968 euros by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation following several incidents that occurred during the classic match against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz. The sanctions were applied based on the behavior of Porto fans mentioned in the reports of the referee, the League delegate, and the security forces.

The first fine, amounting to 1,910 euros, concerns the use of pyrotechnics in the visiting stands at Luz, where a firecracker and a flashlight were launched in the ZCEAP. These acts constitute a disciplinary offense and are aggravated by the club's repeated offenses.

The highest penalty, of 6,375 euros, was imposed for behaviors considered to seriously undermine public order. Among the recorded episodes were whistles during the minute of silence in tribute to António Lobo Antunes, offensive and discriminatory chants, and the display of unauthorized banners, including messages like “Death to the Moors,” in sections occupied by Porto fans. The recurrence of such behavior again influenced the decision.

Lastly, a fine of 1,683 euros was imposed due to insulting chants directed at the rival and various incidents in the inspection area, where pyrotechnic materials were seized and disturbances between fans and venue assistants were recorded.
