Conmebol is considering punishments for Bruno Henrique of Flamengo, after the red-and-black team’s qualification in the Libertadores. During the celebration for reaching the semifinals, the number 27 made obscene gestures towards the fans of the Argentine team Estudiantes.
As soon as Agustín Rossi saved Ascacíbar’s penalty, the Flamengo players ran towards the goalkeeper, near the Estudiantes fans. Many players stared down the Argentine team’s supporters, who packed the Estadio Uno in La Plata, but Bruno Henrique went further.
The number 27 showed his middle finger, grabbed his private parts towards the Estudiantes fans, and shouted several insults, such as “sons of b…” and “f…”. Some members of the Flamengo staff even tried to cover up Bruno Henrique’s reaction, but fans managed to film the scene.
Thus, Conmebol will analyze the case to determine whether Bruno Henrique will be punished. The player may receive a fine and, depending on the article under which he is charged, could even be suspended from Flamengo matches in the Copa Libertadores.
It’s important to note that Flamengo returns to the field for the Libertadores in the last two weeks of October, against Racing (ARG), in the semifinals. The first leg will be at Maracanã, with the return match at El Cilindro, in Avellaneda, metropolitan region of Buenos Aires.
While he has not been charged, Bruno Henrique continues his normal life at Flamengo. In fact, the number 27 is available for this Sunday (28th), against Corinthians, in the Brasileirão. Thus, the match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube.
