"Ban" for Potenze for the Umbrella!

Daniel Potenze has been handed a one-match ban by the League's Primary Single Disciplinary Body for throwing an umbrella into the stands after the end of the AEK-Olympiacos match. The Portuguese footballer had received the umbrella from AEK fans and returned it, which was recorded on video and used as evidence. The ban means Potenze will miss Saturday's match against Levadiakos. In addition, he was fined 10,000 euros by DEAB. The incident sparked reactions and led to the immediate punishment of the player, highlighting the importance of sportsmanship and adherence to regulations during matches. This decision is expected to act as a deterrent to similar behavior in the future and contribute to maintaining a positive atmosphere in sports venues.
