Vianese to attack after clashes at the end of the game with Leixões

A Sport Clube Vianense – Football, SAD issued, earlier this Sunday, a note, through its official platforms, in which it left its reaction to the episode of confrontations between players of Leixões and fans, after the meeting of the third elimination of the Cup of Portugal, which ended with the victory of the formation based in Viana do Castelo.

The emblem of League 3, which removed the Leixões, from the second echelon, from the queen race, winning by a ball to zero, with the goal of Moses Conceição, lamented the whole situation and repudiated these same incidents.

“Sport Clube Vianense – Football, SAD laments and repudiates the incidents that occurred at the end of yesterday’s meeting, in front of Leixões SC – Football SAD, which involved players and elements of the visiting entourage, as well as fans of Vianense, as documented in images that came to the public. Any behaviour of intimidation, confrontation or attempted aggression against supporters is absolutely unacceptable and contrary to the values of sport. Responsibility, respect and self-control must guide the conduct of all players, particularly those representing sports institutions”, he started by writing the Vianense, in a statement that was shared on social networks.

The club of Viana do Castelo also stressed “to trust that the competent authorities and sports disciplinary bodies will carry out the rigorous fact-finding and the determination of any responsibilities, ensuring, from now on, all necessary collaboration.”

“Football must be a space of passion, respect and security where we raise football. Never from violence. The Board of Directors. Sport Clube Vianense – Football, SAD ", ends the note of the club of northern Portugal.

Already with the match finished, the environment warmed up in the middle of the turf and some football players from Matosinhos team got involved in aggression with fans of the club minhoto, in an episode that forced the security forces to intervene.

The confusion then passed to the stands of Dr. José de Matos Stadium, while players and members of the technical teams tried to put an end to the contempt and calm the moods.
