Total impunity: FC Porto complaint against Suárez ‘partly dismissed’ | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council (CD) of the FPF decided on the “partial dismissal” of the complaint filed by FC Porto against Luis Suárez, related not only to the gesture directed at the referee during the Portuguese Cup classic, but also to the incidents involving Jan Bednarek, which, in the view of the Dragons, caused an injury that prevented the Pole from continuing on the field – he left with a rib cage trauma.

In the ruling, however, the FPF’s CD focuses only on the incidents between Suárez and Bednarek, without making any reference to the aforementioned controversial gesture, which suggests that this matter may still be considered at a later stage.

Regarding the two incidents in question, the FPF’s CD recalls that the situation was “fully assessed, in the context of the game, by the refereeing team – who are primarily responsible for evaluating and, if necessary, technically and disciplinarily sanctioning the players’ conduct,” and who did not indicate any infraction of the Laws of the Game. Thus, by invoking “the application of the field of play doctrine,” it is concluded that “the possibility of the disciplinary bodies adopting a divergent understanding is ruled out.”
