A punch can be very expensive. The FC Porto player Samu Aghehowa discovered this in practice.
The Spanish striker was sentenced by the Discipline Council of Portuguese Football Federation for striking the advertising plate.
At the end of the game against Gil Vicente, for the Portuguese Championship, he was expelled and, as a reaction, punched the sign used to expose the sponsors ‘marks during the players’ interviews for TV.
In January this year, he lost the game 3-1.
The council fined Spanish in 612 euros, more than 4 thousand reais.
