Paulinho fined by the FPF over Sporting - Benfica | OneFootball

The disciplinary bill from the derby between Sporting and Benfica is now known and once again weighs on the Lions’ finances, with fines involving members of the coaching staff and Clube de Alvalade itself following incidents recorded during the match.

According to the list of sanctions now released by the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation, assistant Luís Neto was the most heavily penalized, with a fine of 3,190 euros for being improperly present in the technical area, while kit manager Paulinho was also sanctioned with a 380-euro fine for the same type of infringement, related to remaining in unauthorized areas during the game.

Sporting itself was also punished, receiving a fine of 1,275 euros, an amount linked to failure to comply with the rules on access to and presence of personnel in the technical area, in proceedings resulting from the disciplinary control applied after the clash.

In total, the bill is close to 5,000 euros, also adding to other indirect costs associated with behavior during the game, in a scenario that once again puts the green-and-white club under disciplinary scrutiny after a derby in which they were beaten 2-1.

At this moment, Rui Borges’ men are behind, with Porto (79) in first place. Benfica are second with 72. Both rivals have played one more game.
