Sporting fined over protests against Tondela, but not only | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation fined Sporting more than 3,000 euros following the incidents recorded in the 2-2 draw against Tondela at the José Alvalade Stadium, it was learned this Saturday, May 2.

The highest fine, amounting to 2,040 euros, was due to the four-minute delay by Rui Borges’ side in returning for the second half, with no justification provided. Added to this was a fine of 1,275 euros related to the entry and presence of unauthorized objects brought in by supporters.

According to the report, Sporting failed in its “duty to ensure compliance with all rules and conditions regarding spectators’ access and presence”, namely by not preventing the entry of banners exceeding the permitted dimensions. In addition, messages such as “Intolerable” and “We demand more” were displayed at various moments of the match without authorization from the security forces, which contributed to the increased sanction, taking into account the Club’s disciplinary record.

Furthermore, the board led by Frederico Varandas will also have to pay two additional fines, worth 77 euros each, related to the yellow cards shown by referee Fábio Veríssimo to Eduardo Quaresma and Salvador Blopa.

Sporting return to action next Monday, May 4, against Vitória SC. The match, counting for round 32 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
