Another weekend, another trip, another match marked by a case that provoked general outrage involving a child again. After the episode of the ten-year-old boy who had to take off his Benfica shirt and watch the Reds play in Famalicão with a bare torso, Estoril-FC Porto was marked by another episode during the first half, when a Dragons fan he was forced by the canarinha cheerleader to carry his daughter on his lap and go to another area of the stadium after being insulted and spat on after Zaidu’s disallowed goal in the 36th minute. One more time too, the reactions were arriving in catadupa with the same protagonists who had demonstrated last Sunday.
“They spat on me and insulted me. I had to get my daughter out of there”: father with a baby from FC Porto forced to change places in Estoril
“In a week marked by a series of incidents that contravene the principles of tolerance and deny the essential values of Sport, that also had a response today, we are called to a joint reflection that can not leave anyone absent, no one! At a time of recovery, when we want to bring families back to the sports arena, we must firmly and firmly reject all acts that constitute attacks against all those who build the spectacle that football should be, contributing to a perception that does not correspond to any of the values we defend”, he began defending Pedro Proença, president of the League in a text on Facebook.

“This road may be long, but the determination to alert about the real values of sporting and competitive coexistence is unwavering, and for this journey, we are all summoned! We will have to be uncompromising in defending these values, sure, however, that change begins in each one of us, in the reflection on what sport and citizenship are. This reflection will constitute a substantial part of this path. We will not stop defending what is fair and demanding the means and conditions to make it effective.
the cry of a child, terrified, clinging to her father’s arms, in a football stadium, it should be enough to make us … stop!” added the head of the professional competitions body.

“This child and father were victims of unacceptable intolerance by a group of supporters from the opposing team. These types of incidents cannot occur in our stadiums. As well as we cannot accept attempts to normalize intolerance in sport. The Authority for the Prevention and Fight against Violence in Sport will act against the conduct of the fans in question. We will continue to fight relentlessly”, announced João Paulo Correia, Secretary of State for Youth and Sports, in a text on Twitter with the video of what happened this Saturday in Amoreira.

“During the first half, an FC Porto fan, with a child in his arms, was insulted, spat on and expelled from a stand in Estoril where he had every right. FC Porto expresses its solidarity with these two Porto players and waits, naturally and anxiously, for the reaction of the Secretary of State for Sports and the president of the League”, wrote the blue and white club in the Newsletter Daily diary of dragons.
