The FPF’s Disciplinary Board rejected the appeals by Sporting, Coates and Balenha. Thus, the midfielder and the defensive midfielder, both of whom were expelled in the derby match against FC Porto, will comply with the penalties imposed on them, respectively, one match and three penalty matches. In the case of Sporting’s central defense, the Lions competed with the first two yellow cards shown by Joao Pinheiro to the captain, who according to the referee trampled on Taremi’s negligence, in a move in which the FC Porto striker trampled on the defender Sporting. As for the method, Sporting defied double standards From the disciplinary board between Balenha and Marcecin, given that the FC Porto goalkeeper “only” received two games of suspension for kicking an opponent.
