The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Ski Federation has punished Sporting goalkeeper Angelo Girao with five matches for attacking Lucas Ordóñez of Argentina, who plays for Benfica.
On January 30, Benfica announced that it had filed a criminal complaint against the Lions player, after he attacked Ordóñez with the stick, in the derby match between the two teams, in Joao Rocha, the day before.
According to the ruling of the FPP Disciplinary Board, Angelo Girão took advantage of the fact that Lucas Ordóñez was late at the entrance to the ring warm-up to attack him with the stick in “the right side of his neck, leaving marks and causing pain”, as read in the document, as well as on the forearms.
«Son p…, this is not Argentina, this is Portugal! I gave you two, there’s still one to go. I’ll give you the inside of the field, ”Girao said also in the direction of the Argentine, with whom he had already had a falling out in the previous derby and also in the World Cup final in San Juan, between Argentina and Portugal.
Video surveillance footage from the wing confirmed the aggression of Angelo Girão, who will miss Sporting’s next five matches: Tomar, Oki Barcelos (Portugal Cup semi-final), Morch, Parede and the first match in the “play-off”.
