The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation imposed a fine of 1,530 euros on Benfica following a postponed match from the third round of the league. The game took place at Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, home of Moreirense, and ended with an emphatic 4-0 victory for Benfica.
The events that led to the financial sanction occurred outside the pitch, in specific sectors of the northern venue. The infractions were identified in the areas designated as North End and East Central, according to the official document issued by the disciplinary authority.
Security forces and match delegates identified several occurrences during the sporting event, which ultimately justified the penalty applied to the club from Luz. The disciplinary process was concluded after detailed analysis of the occurrences reported by the agents present at the venue.
Among the recorded infractions, a Benfica fan was caught stealing a ball in an unusual way, which contributed to the set of occurrences that led to the rigorous intervention of the national sports authorities against the club.
