Olympiacos on Pontense: “The AEK Video is Edited” – Penalty for the Portuguese within the Day

Published February 12, 2026, 14:32

Daniel Podence apologized through his lawyer, Dimitris Karpetopoulos, to the Primary Single Disciplinary Committee for throwing an umbrella towards the AEK stand. His lawyer argued that the AEK video is edited and time-limited, emphasizing that Podence's movement was reflexive, as he returned the umbrella he received from the stands. Additionally, it was highlighted that the player has already been punished by DEAB and a new penalty should not be imposed. Podence faces a one-match ban for misconduct, with a decision expected within the day.
