Firework and bottle incident costs FC Porto €10,200 fine | OneFootball

The FPF Disciplinary Council imposed a fine of 10,200 euros on FC Porto for the explosion of a firecracker thrown by fans, which startled Tondela’s goalkeeper, Bernardo Fontes, during the last round of the Primeira Liga, as well as one of the assistant referees. The sanction also covers a subsequent incident in which, according to the report by referee Luís Godinho and the League delegate, that assistant, Rui Teixeira, was hit by a water bottle thrown by the blue and white supporters.

In the same match, the club was further penalized with 3,440 euros for improper behavior by the crowd, mainly due to insulting chants and the use of pyrotechnic devices. Meanwhile, Samu was fined 1,700 euros for a message directed at Luuk de Jong during the celebration of his goal, when he lifted his match shirt. “During the celebrations of FC Porto’s first goal, its scorer, Samu, lifted his match shirt, displaying a message on his undershirt, though the content was not discernible,” reported Luís Godinho.

Regarding the match against V. Guimarães in the League Cup, a 12-day suspension was imposed on Henrique Monteiro, the Dragons’ match delegate, after he was sent off. “He got up from the bench in an effusive manner, raising his arms and pointing to various places on the field, shouting: ‘Earlier that was a foul and now this one too, if you called that one you have to call this one,’” wrote the match referee, Hélder Carvalho. Callum Walsh, the fitness coach who was also sent off against Vitória, will serve a one-match suspension. “Protesting or arguing with a member of the refereeing team by getting up from the substitute bench and gesticulating vehemently, opening and closing his arms as a signal that it was over,” reported the match official. Additional fines totaling 4,715 euros were imposed for improper behavior by the crowd.
