This hearing is part of a disciplinary process that evaluates unsportsmanlike conduct in the continental tournament. The player became a target of Conmebol the day after the match held at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata.

WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT?

The Disciplinary Unit of Conmebol framed the athlete under articles 2b and 2c of the entity's Disciplinary Code. In short, the first refers to offensive, insulting, or defamatory behavior.

Meanwhile, article 2c deals with the violation of the minimum guidelines of what is considered acceptable behavior in sports. Thus, if there is a punishment, the player may receive a suspension for games or for a determined period.

Bruno Henrique used social media to comment on the episode. According to the forward, the gesture was a reaction to objects thrown by the Argentine fans after Flamengo's qualification.

The number 27 also stated that he was hit by a lighter during the confrontation. In a message posted on the ‘Fla da Depressão’ profile, he emphasized that the reaction happened after suffering attacks.

“I'm always the villain of the story, right? Incredible. They only show my side, but they don't show when players are hit by cans, objects, and other things. My response was precisely because I got a lighter to the face,” he wrote.

Flamengo will face Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores semifinal. The first leg is scheduled for October 22nd at the Maracanã.
