Internacional full-back Fabrício caused a furore last night by being red-carded for giving the middle finger to his own fans last night in a 1-1 draw with Ypiranga in the Rio Grande do Sul state championship.
Both sides were already down to 10 men when the 28-year-old lost his cool and responded to barracking from the home terraces by raising both middle fingers in salute.
On being red-carded Fabrício removed his shirt and threw it on the grass before shouting “I’m leaving. I’m leaving” as he fled down the tunnel.
