Sporting v Porto: Varandas and Suárez cases filed, all charges listed | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against Frederico Varandas and Luis Suárez, following complaints made by Porto after the classic match played on Tuesday against Sporting. It should be noted that, previously, the opening of disciplinary proceedings against Morten Hjulmand had already been confirmed.

In the case of the Lions' President, the proceedings are related to statements made after the match, in which he directly targeted André Villas-Boas. In the complaint sent to the Disciplinary Council, the Dragons consider that these remarks constitute disloyal, defamatory, and provocative behavior, framing the case under Article 130 of the disciplinary regulations of the Portuguese Football Federation, concerning “threats and offenses to honor, consideration, or dignity.”

According to the regulations, this type of infraction can be punished with suspension ranging from one month to one year, cumulatively with a fine between five and ten units of account. Porto also emphasizes the seriousness of the statements due to the fact that they were made publicly and widely disseminated, in addition to involving a club president.

As for Luis Suárez, the complaint focuses on several incidents that occurred during the Classic. In addition to the gesture associated with “theft,” captured by television cameras, Porto points to two incidents involving defender Jan Bednarek. In the interpretation of the blue and whites, the Colombian forward allegedly struck the center-back’s torso at one point in the game and, later, caused a collision that sent the player crashing into goalkeeper Diogo Costa, claiming that the Sporting forward was not in a real position to contest the ball in those instances.

, namely the cases of Enzo Pérez, then playing for Benfica, as well as Pedro Silva and Paulo Bento, both linked to Sporting in the 2009 League Cup final.
