Corinthians Midfielder Sent Off for Obscene Gesture

Fluminense maintained their 2-0 lead over Corinthians in the ninth round of the 2026 Brasileirão at Maracanã. After halftime, with Timão trailing, midfielder Allan was dismissed from the match.

The incident began when Allan gave several 'slaps' to Lucho Acosta's arm near the touchline, resulting in a small scuffle. The referee initially showed yellow cards to both players. However, while arguing with someone on Fluminense's bench, Allan made an obscene gesture, leading to his sending off.
