Allan sent off for obscene gesture in Fluminense v Corinthians | OneFootball

Midfielder Allan was sent off during the match between Fluminense and Corinthians on Wednesday night at the Maracanã, in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship, for making an obscene gesture.

The gesture took place at the start of the second half. Five minutes in, Allan got into an argument with Lucho Acosta, sparking a mass confrontation involving players from both teams. During the altercation, the Corinthians player grabbed his crotch in the direction of a Fluminense player.

The referee was called to review the incident at the VAR monitor and decided to send Allan off. The midfielder will therefore have to serve a suspension in the team’s next match, against Internacional.

Dorival under pressure

Corinthians ended up losing 3-1 in Rio de Janeiro. The result extended Timão’s winless run to eight matches this season and increased the pressure on coach Dorival Júnior. The team sits 11th in the Brazilian Championship table with 10 points.
