FC Porto to file complaint against Sporting | OneFootball

FC Porto will file a disciplinary complaint against Sporting following incidents that occurred during last Saturday's classic at the José Alvalade Stadium.

The complaint is related to the throwing of objects that hit Zaidu, William Gomes, and Froholdt during FC Porto's goal celebrations. Zaidu even required assistance for a facial injury a few minutes after Luuk de Jong's goal.

The three Porto players claimed to have been hit by lighters, but the league delegate reportedly only mentioned Zaidu's case in the official report of the classic. For this reason, FC Porto's complaint to the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation will also include the incidents involving the Brazilian winger and the Danish midfielder.

The blues and whites consider that the episodes fall under articles 179 and 181 of the disciplinary regulations of competitions organized by Liga Portugal. Since it involves aggression by Sporting fans against a player, the club could be punished "with the sanction of holding games behind closed doors set between a minimum of one and a maximum of two games and, additionally, with a fine set between a minimum of 50 UC and a maximum of 150 UC."

Some Sporting fans have already been identified by authorities for throwing objects onto the field.

FC Porto won the classic on Saturday, in the 4th round of the League, by 2-1.
