FC Porto fined over €35,000 after the derby | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the FPF imposed fines on FC Porto following the derby with Sporting on Monday, totaling over 35,000 euros. Among the incidents mentioned is the Atlético de Madrid jersey thrown at Morten Hjulmand, Sporting's captain, although the punishment report does not mention the already known situation with the ball boys.

The largest sanction imposed on the blue and whites, amounting to 10,200 euros, is related to the "throwing of objects without impact on the game." "Throughout the game, various objects were thrown towards the bench occupied by Sporting CP, including plastic flag poles distributed in the stands, plastic cups, lighters, and/or water bottles from the west stand, section 32, entirely occupied by FC Porto fans. This occurred particularly from the 88th minute until the end of the game, resulting in a pile of the mentioned objects near the visiting team's bench. Upon returning to the locker rooms after the warm-up, around 8:30 PM, FC Porto fans positioned in the nearby stand threw an Atlético de Madrid jersey towards the player Morten Hjulmand," according to the punishment report, as reported by the League delegate.

In the category of "incorrect behavior of the public" and "non-compliance with other duties," FC Porto was also fined 8,925 and 6,375 euros, respectively, primarily for the detection of the entry and detonation of 33 devices at the Estádio do Dragão – specifically flares, smoke pots, and firecrackers – and for displaying insulting banners directed at Frederico Varandas: "If calling someone a bandit is not a crime, saying Varandas is a son of a b... is a compliment." The dragons also received a fine of 1,084 euros due to offensive chants against Sporting, Frederico Varandas, and goalkeeper Rui Silva.

Regarding "invasions and collective disturbances affecting the game," the blue and whites were fined 6,375 euros, directly related to the four minutes the game was interrupted due to smoke caused by flares lit by FC Porto fans. "Between the 32nd and 36th minute of the first half, the game was interrupted due to the use of pyrotechnic articles by FC Porto supporters in the south stand, section 8, creating dense smoke at the level of the playing field, obstructing the visibility of the participants" and "The game was interrupted between the 32nd and 36th minute (4 minutes) due to the smoke that, resulting from the ignited pyrotechnics, settled on the field. The insufficient visibility conditions prompted the mentioned interruption. The massive detonation of pyrotechnic devices (30 incandescent flares, as reported in the attached table) occurred in the south stand, section 08, within the ZCEAP a few seconds before affecting visibility," according to the punishment report.
