Carlos Miguel targeted by racist abuse during Palmeiras-Corinthians draw | OneFootball

The goalless draw between Corinthians and Palmeiras on Sunday night was marked by controversies off the field. After the accusations of assaults, a video circulating online shows a fan at Neo Química Arena insulting Carlos Miguel by calling him a “monkey.”

In the video, the fan’s shout can be heard after the goalkeeper’s save on a shot by Yuri Alberto. The incident took place in the second half, when Timão was already down to nine men.

André Luís was sent off in the 34th minute of the first half, while Matheuzinho received a red card in the 23rd minute of the second half. The first was booked for an “obscene gesture,” while the full-back was shown red after striking Flaco López in the face.

Minutes after the end of the match, Palmeiras released a statement accusing a Corinthians staff member of assaulting Luighi while the forward was heading to the anti-doping test. Shortly afterward, Timão accused Verdão security guards of assaulting Gabriel Paulista and Breno Bidon.
