A year on from their bruising World Cup quarter-final, it seems there's still gallons of bad blood between Brazil and Colombia...
Both Neymar and Carlos Bacca were sent off after the final whistle in a chain of events that somewhat overshadowed Colombia's first victory over Brazil in 24 years.
As the referee signalled the end of the game, Neymar smashed the ball towards goal in frustration; it hit Pablo Armero in the back who reacted with a comical star jump.
This p*ssed off a number of Armero's teammates, who surrounded Neymar; the Brazilian reacted with a push of foreheads with Jeison Murillo, earning him a needless red.
But before the match official could react, Carlos Bacca appeared from nowhere and nearly snapped Neymar's head off his shoulders with an almighty shove to the back.
Both players were duly given their marching orders in a farcical end to a disjointed game.
