Maxi Araújo learns his fate after Santa Clara v Sporting clash | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo learned last Thursday, November 13th, that he was suspended for one game following his expulsion in the final phase of the match between Sporting and Santa Clara in the Azores, which the Lions ended up winning 2-1, thanks to a goal by Morten Hjulmand in stoppage time.

However, the Uruguayan international was not the only one punished from this match, as the Disciplinary Council's Punishment Map addresses a 'wave' of penalties, resulting from the heated emotions at the end of the match.

The document made public also reveals attempts of aggression and greater penalties for other Sporting figures as well - Luís Neto from the technical team will be suspended for a period of 30 days - but the events did not stop there.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Maxi Araújo – valued at 17 million euros - has played 13 matches. Over the 964 minutes he was used by Rui Borges, the Uruguayan international scored one goal and made one assist.

The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, November 22nd, against Marinhense. The match, part of the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Rui Sacramento, will be played at 6:00 PM in Alvalade.
