Overview
- Allan Rodrigues de Souza received a red card after video assistants flagged a crotch gesture toward Lucho Acosta that the on-field referee missed in real time.
- Referee reviewed the footage at the pitchside monitor and upgraded Allan’s punishment from an initial booking to a sending-off.
- The flashpoint followed a shoving confrontation, during which Allan was booked and a Fluminense bench member was dismissed before the obscene gesture was caught on camera.
- Fluminense beat Corinthians 3-1 at the Maracanã, with John Kennedy and Hércules scoring early, Rodrigo Castillo adding a late goal, and André netting a consolation for the visitors.
- Coach Dorival Junior said Allan accepts he was wrong and the club will handle the matter internally, in what was reported as the midfielder’s third career red after two at Atlético Mineiro.
