Matheus Cunha has been indicted by the FA for his violent behavior. If he is subject to additional punishment, he will be banned from playing until mid-April.

Wolverhampton had a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth in the round of 16 of the English Football Association Cup (FA Cup) of the 2024-25 season at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, England, at 00:00 a.m. on the 2nd (Korea time). The match, which led to a close penalty shootout, failed to advance to the quarterfinals as Wolverhampton lost 4-5.
Both teams failed to stage a match during the regular season. As Bournemouth scored the first goal and took the lead, it was Cunha who saved Wolverhampton in crisis. Cunha, who received a pass from Bueno in the 15th minute of the second half, attempted a mid-range shot, but the ball was sucked into the net with a colorful trajectory. The match between the two teams, which was tied 1-1, went into extra time.

However, Cunha became an enemy of his team. As the game was ending with no extra time score, emotions intensified when Cunha was caught in a match against Milos Kerquez at the 14th minute of the second half of the extra time, and a war of nerves broke out between the two. Cunha couldn't control his anger. He slapped Kerquez on the cheek, and attempted to use his foot or even head-butt even when the opponent team fell. The referee declared direct exit to him.

Wolverhampton, who had to take a penalty shootout without key striker Cunha, lost 4-5 due to Doherty and Traore's miss, and failed to advance to the quarterfinals. Hwang Hee-chan, who returned from injury on the day, sat on the bench list, but his participation was canceled.

Cunha is currently playing as the Wolverhampton ace this season 안전놀이터. He has become the top scorer in his team with 14 goals and four assists in 29 official matches. He took over the captaincy of Wolverhampton this season and raised the stock price due to rumors of his transfer to big clubs such as Arsenal, but he has displayed loyalty by renewing his contract with Wolverhampton. However, he seems to be unable to control his emotions at an important moment, affecting his team. In December, he was banned from playing in two games after hitting an opposing staff member at Ipswich Tadugi.

In the end, he was indicted. The Sun reported that Cunha will be banned from playing for an extended period of time after receiving additional charges from the FA for using his fist, foot, and head against his opponent in the match against Bournemouth. On top of that, as Cunha entered the locker room, there were reports that he was also violent toward Pereira and his teammates. The FA said in an official statement, "Cunha has been charged. There were allegations that he acted inappropriately around the first minute of the second half of extra time after he was sent off. Cunha should provide an answer by Monday."

Cunha has already been banned for three games. He will not be able to play in upcoming matches against Everton, Southampton and West Ham United. If he is given one more game, he will not be able to play until the upcoming match against Ipswich on April 5. Wolverhampton, who is currently ranked 17th, has to struggle every day in order to move away from the relegation zone, but has faced unfavorable factors such as having to prepare without Cunha.
