Porto v Benfica row: Villas-Boas to pay big over Mourinho | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas, President of Porto, is obliged to pay a fine exceeding 30,000 euros, due to the behavior of the blue and white fans during the Portuguese football classic against Benfica, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation was strict with Porto, imposing a fine much higher than usual in the Liga Portugal. A large portion of this amount is due to the use of pyrotechnics by the fans of André Villas-Boas's team.

Another part of the fine is related to José Mourinho. Besides the series of insults directed at Benfica's coach, Porto fans were also fined due to two banners, which read 'There's only one Special One' and 'The Football Club of Porto' - again, a clear provocation to the Portuguese coach of the eagles.

The fines for the banners didn't stop there. The messages of support for Fernando Madureira, from the Super Dragões, will also cost Porto thousands of euros. In the stadium, phrases like 'In Lisbon there's fire, punch, and shove' and 'Only the Monkey is in prison' could be read, alluding to problems at Benfica's General Assembly, and some episodes with Juve Leo, Sporting's supporters group.

Adding to all these factors, there were also several objects thrown throughout the game, aimed at Benfica players or the red substitutes' bench. The yellow cards received by the blue and white players also factor in, as well as a final amount due to the action of the stadium speaker at the dragon's stadium, who shouted for Porto during the match.
