Corinthians fine André after red card for obscene gesture; details | OneFootball

Corinthians has decided to fine defensive midfielder André for his sending-off in the Derby, caused by an obscene gesture directed at Andreas Pereira of the rival team. According to information first reported by ge.globo and confirmed by Central do Timão, the amount of the player’s punishment corresponds to 10% of the salary registered in his contract.

The black-and-white club’s decision mirrors the outcome of the case involving Allan, in which the No. 29 was also sent off for the same obscene gesture of grabbing his private parts, against Fluminense. With the punishment applied, Timão already considers the matter closed.

The sending-off

During the first half of the clash between Corinthians and Palmeiras last Sunday (12), at Neo Química Arena, defensive midfielder André challenged Andreas Pereira for the ball and, after a tangle with the opposing midfielder, got up making an obscene gesture toward his opponent.

The play was reviewed by VAR, and after the match referee determined that the Corinthians midfielder had grabbed his private parts toward the rival player, a red card was shown. Because of the sending-off, the player will miss Corinthians’ match against Vitória in the Brasileirão next Saturday (14).
