Fluminense beat Santos 3-2, and one of the moments that drew the most attention after the match was John Kennedy’s celebration after scoring the winner. The forward, decisive in Tricolor’s victory, made a gesture with his right hand near his lips before running off to celebrate with his teammates, a move that quickly caught on among internet users.
The scene drew attention right after Fluminense’s third goal and soon spread widely across social media, fueling a wave of memes and comments about the player’s attitude.
Besides the reaction to his celebration, John Kennedy was also a topic after the game for another reason. According to reporter Duda Dalponte of TV Globo, the forward felt unwell after the final whistle and even vomited on the pitch.
The incident stirred even more buzz around the player’s name, as he played an important role in Fluminense’s away win. With the goal that sealed the comeback against Santos, John Kennedy had a direct hand in a memorable result for Tricolor.
