Daniel Podense, a player for Olympiacos, has received a one-match suspension and a €10,000 fine from the Greek Super League's disciplinary authority following an incident during a recent match against AEK. The suspension stems from Podense's actions where he returned an umbrella thrown by fans back onto the pitch, an act that was captured on video and submitted as evidence by AEK. Podense will immediately serve his suspension, meaning he will miss the upcoming league match against Levadiakos.

In response to the disciplinary actions, Olympiacos has vehemently defended Podense, arguing that the case against him is baseless and based on a "doctored video". They referenced a three-year-old case where another player, Namakoro Dabo of Aris, was acquitted for a similar action by the same disciplinary body. This comparison highlights Olympiacos’ belief that the treatment of Podense is inconsistent and unjust.

This incident raises questions about the consistency and fairness of disciplinary procedures within the Super League, particularly regarding actions taken by players in response to fan behavior. As Olympiacos prepares for their next match without Podense, the club's management may continue to challenge the disciplinary decisions, which could have broader implications for how player conduct is regulated in the league in the future.
