(ANSA) – LISBON, 12 FEB – Last night’s big match in the Portuguese championship between Porto and Sporting Lisbon ended with a far west fight. The final result was 2-2, a result that allows Lazio’s next rivals in the Europa League to maintain a six-point advantage over Sporting, but this ‘classic’ of Lusitanian football will be remembered for the scuffle unleashed in the final, with style blows far west due to which Pepe, Marchesin, Palhinha and Tabata were expelled. Earlier, during the match, Coates was also sent off.
So now today the sports newspaper ‘A Bola’ headlines “Toxic” on the front page, inserting the drawing of a gas mask in the O of this word, and asking for an investigation into the incident, while the title of the other newspaper ‘Record’ is “Shame”. On the front page it is also underlined that “the final of the ‘Clasico’ was characterized by attacks, expulsions and spitting. Matheus Reis (defender of Sporting ed) was savagely attacked by elements of the opposing bench”.
In short, for Sergio Conceicao’s team a far from peaceful way to approach next Thursday’s match against Maurizio Sarri’s biancocelesti. (HANDLE).
