Belenenses beat Caldas (2-1) this Sunday at Campo da Mata, in a game in which, according to the Restelo blues, their fans were unable to enter the stadium with flags due to a rule imposed by the home team.
«This impediment resulted from an order given by Caldas Sport Clube to the security forces present at the venue, as promoter of the show, and the prompt intervention of the Supporters’ Liaison Officer, the Security Manager and members of the Belenenses Board of Directors in no way made it possible for the inexplicable decision of the visited club to be changed», can be read in a statement.
The team that leads Serie B of League 3 criticized the opposing team: «Belenenses begins by registering the anti-sports stance of Caldas Sport Clube and those responsible, totally inexplicable and in flagrant violation of all current legislation – which thus demonstrates a curious understanding of the much proclaimed values of “Pure Football” that aim to be the seal of this competition.”
Belenenses will also present “a detailed explanation of the events” to the Portuguese Football Federation, asking that “effective measures be taken in this type of situation”.
