ESPN Brasil reports that Memphis Depay 'fled' from journalists after the match, which may result in a fine for Corinthians. The Brazilian club is required by CONMEBOL to have all players pass through the mixed zone after a match, and failure to do so can lead to disciplinary action.
Memphis Depay missed a crucial penalty in injury time, which ultimately led to Corinthians' elimination from the Copa Libertadores. Estudiantes won the match 0-1, securing their spot in the South American Champions League. VoetbalPrimeur notes that Memphis is not the only player from Corinthians who failed to report to the mixed zone, with multiple other players also absent.
The investigation into the incident is set to expand, with ESPN Brasil stating that players who were required to give interviews on the field were also replaced by Corinthians. This is not in line with CONMEBOL's regulations.
