No bans in derby: Pavlidis escapes punishment for violent conduct | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) decided to dismiss the disciplinary proceedings against the player Pavlidis, from Benfica, related to the classic match played on October 5th, at the Estádio do Dragão, which ended in a goalless draw and was part of the 8th round of the I Liga.

FC Porto was the first to file a complaint, accusing Pavlidis of elbowing Gabri Veiga in the early moments of the match. However, the complaint from Porto did not proceed, with the CD considering that there is not enough evidence to impose any sanction on the Greek forward.

The ruling, dated October 23rd, confirms that the referees and video referees of the match were heard, without any new elements emerging from their statements that would justify a punishment.

The Commission of Instructors of Liga Portugal had already recommended the dismissal of the case, a decision now validated by the disciplinary body of the FPF.

Even so, FC Porto retains the possibility of appealing to the Council of Justice or to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), should they choose to do so.
