Conmebol charge Bruno Henrique for obscene gesture as Flamengo go through | OneFootball

Conmebol has decided to open a disciplinary proceeding against Bruno Henrique following the incident that occurred last Thursday (25), in La Plata. During the celebration of Flamengo's qualification to the Libertadores semi-finals, the forward made an obscene gesture towards Estudiantes fans, who were throwing objects onto the pitch at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium.

According to the entity's Disciplinary Unit, the number 27 was framed in articles 2b and 2c of the Disciplinary Code. The first mentions offensive attitudes, insults, or defamatory expressions, while the second deals with violations of minimum conduct expected in the sports environment.
