Update on Sporting's appeal after Porto's complaint | OneFootball

It was learned last Thursday, November 13, that Sporting's appeal against the partial ban of the José Alvalade Stadium has already been submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This is accompanied by a request for an injunction, seen as an urgent measure to prevent the execution of the penalty until the case is judged by the court.

It is worth remembering that the green and whites ended up being punished with the closure of sector A17 - north end - following a complaint from Porto, due to incidents that occurred in the classic match between the two teams, which took place on August 30.

Sporting was only notified of the Disciplinary Council's decision on October 30, and yesterday marked two weeks since then. The actual closure of the stand could only be enforced 15 days after the notification, meaning from November 13 - in this case, the next match for the lions is scheduled for November 22, against Marinhense, for the Portuguese Cup.

This complaint from the dragons was due to the throwing of objects onto the field - such as lighters - at the moment when Porto players were celebrating their goals at Alvalade: “In cumulative material, the defendant is sentenced to the single penalty of temporary closure of sector A17, North Stand, for one (1) game, in addition to a fine of 150 (one hundred and fifty) UC, which corresponds to (…) the amount of €15,300.00 (fifteen thousand three hundred euros),” decided the DC.

Furthermore, the FPF body considered it proven that “during the second half of the game, around the 61st minute of regular time,” Sporting fans “located in the north stand sector A 17” threw “various objects, namely lighters in the direction of FC Porto, SAD players, who were celebrating their team's first goal.”
