As confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva, the midfielder will have 10% deducted from his salary as punishment for the act in the Derby. The information was first reported by ge.

It is worth noting that Corinthians had already faced a similar situation before. Against Fluminense, on the first day of this month, defensive midfielder Allan was shown a red card for the same reason and was also fined 10% of his salary.

The incident

André's obscene gesture took place in the 32nd minute of the first half. After a challenge with Andreas Pereira, the Timão midfielder got up and brought his hand to his private parts toward the Palmeiras midfielder. The action sparked a commotion and, shortly afterward, referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza was called to review the play and sent off the Corinthians player.

In addition to him, right back Matheuzinho was also sent off in the derby after catching Flaco López in the face with his arm following a challenge.

As a result, both players will be unavailable for the match against Vitória. Corinthians face the team from Bahia next Saturday at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Barradão. Matheuzinho will also miss the following round, against Vasco da Gama, on the 26th at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), as he accumulated a third yellow card and a straight red.
