Porto Canal: police have footage of Martim Costa pushing Porto fan | OneFootball

FC Porto reported an alleged incident involving Martim Costa before the handball clássico against Sporting, played at the Dragão Arena, in the opening round of the second phase of the national championship.

Mário Santos, the general director of the club’s sports departments, said the Sporting player allegedly pushed an FC Porto supporter during the warm-up, in an incident which, he said, was captured on video. According to the official’s account, Martim Costa went over to the stands and pushed a supporter, in an episode he considers “far too obvious” and one that falls within the legal framework applicable to sporting events.

The FC Porto official lamented the series of incidents surrounding the match and stressed that the supporter involved will be properly identified. FC Porto’s structure maintains that there is visual evidence proving the alleged incident.

The match between FC Porto and Sporting was also marked by other controversial incidents at the Dragão Arena, in an atmosphere of great tension surrounding the clássico in the opening round of this decisive stage of the championship.

For now, there is still uncertainty over any possible disciplinary or judicial developments related to the case.
