The blue and whites’ central defense will miss the games against Leixões, for the League Cup, and GD Chaves, for the championship.
Footballer Pepe, from FC Porto, was suspended today with two games following his expulsion against Sporting, in the classic that ended the 14th round of the I Football League.
In a match with Sporting player Matheus Reis, in the 51st minute, the Porto defender, who saw straight red, was considered “guilty of violent conduct” by “attacking an opponent with a punch in the face”, meaning he will miss the next two challenges of ‘dragons’.
The punishment imposed by the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) will prevent the defender from facing Leixões, in the League Cup, and Desportivo de Chaves, in the championship, on Saturday, both at Estádio do Dragão. .
The expulsion ordered by referee Nuno Almeida occurred after being alerted by the VAR so that he could analyze the move. Pepe was also fined 1,200 euros.
Sporting won 2-0 and thus isolated themselves in first place, with 34 points, followed by Benfica, with 33, and FC Porto, with 31.
In the punishment map, the FPF CD still awaits clarification regarding the Porto coach, Sérgio Conceição, and Hugo Viana, Sporting’s sporting director, who had a disagreement at the end of Monday’s game.
