Luisao punished with 2 games


Luisao will not be able to play the next two domestic Benfica games(P.Ferreira and Sporting) as a result of an agression to Sapunaru in the game against porto.
During the first minutes of the Benfica-porto game, the SPORTTV cameras apparently caught Luisao's elbow hitting Sapunaru in the face, during the usual fighting for position for a corner kick. As a result the league decided to punish the Benfica central defender with 2 games and a 1,000 euros fine.
With this move, the league is setting the standard, let's hope they are uniform throughout the season, and punish all other culprits.

I'm not too big of a conspiracy theorist, but there are people(bloggers) out there with very clear "warnings" for the Benfiquista community that claim that there is a lot of behind the scenes movement to prevent Benfica from having a strong season.
If the images from TV are clear, and in fact the agression took place, then i'm all for the punishment. All i'm asking for is for the league to be fair and apply the same punishment to similar infractions. They have set the standard let's see how that standard is used. All Benfiquista's will be watching.
