Luis Suárez fined, Sporting striker forced to pay up | OneFootball

Sporting was once again sanctioned for coming out late for the second half of the clash against Rio Ave (4-0). The repeated nature of the offence led the Disciplinary Board to fine the Lions €3,570, based on the incidents recorded in the reports of referee Bruno Costa and the League delegates.

The delay in returning to the pitch was not, however, exclusive to the Lisbon side. The Vila do Conde club also failed to comply with the scheduled time for the restart, but ended up receiving a much lower fine, set at €790.

The match played at the Estádio dos Arcos ended in a 4-0 win for Sporting, in a game in which the visitors built a comfortable lead in the first half. Flávio Gonçalves opened the scoring in the fifth minute, before Geny Catamo doubled the advantage in the 19th minute.

The disciplinary warning also had financial consequences for the Colombian, who will have to pay a fine of €77, according to the regulations in force. As a result, Sporting have picked up yet another sanction due to a delayed restart, in an episode that has already become recurrent.
