Neymar hit with red card for headbutting Colombian player (VIDEO)

Brazil superstar forward Neymar lost his cool after the final whistle was blown following Wednesday’s Copa America match against Colombia.

Colombia pulled off the upset and emerged victorious, 1-0, and Neymar wasn’t happy about it. When the match ended, he kicked the ball at Colombia’s Pablo Armero.

Armero’s teammate, Jeison Murillo, then got in Neymar’s face and confronted him. That’s when things really got ugly. Neymar head-butted Murillo, which resulted in Colombia’s Carlos Bacca violently shoving him in the back.

Both Neymar and Bacca received red cards for their roles during the heated altercation.
