Colombia beat Brazil 1-0 in Copa America play last night and the game ended in a chaotic scene of bodies and red cards. Earlier in the match, Neymar had his hand stomped on so maybe he was feeling a little frisky at the end, but he wound up firing a ball into Pablo Armero's back, who went sprawling to the ground and started rolling around like an Indiana Jones villain's foot soldier. Just watch him, you can almost hear the Wilhelm Scream.But his teammate and lone goal scorer on the night, Jeison Murillo, did not appreciate it and he met up with Neymar immediately afterwards to get in his face. He actually leaned his head into Neymar's and the Brazilian responded by head-butting him. Then Carlos Bacca stepped in and shoved Neymar.
A bit of a melee broke out after that, but nothing happened apart from some shoving and gesticulating. Neymar was hit with a red card as he left the pitch and Bacca was also booked.For Colombia, it was the first win against Brazil in 24 years and both sides are level with Venezuela atop Group C.[beIN]
