Neymar sees red as Colombia stun Brazil in Copa America

Brazil superstar Neymar was sent off as the five-time world champions crashed to a 1-0 Copa America defeat against Colombia.

In sensational scenes after the final whistle, Neymar was shown a red card after an ugly melee involving players of both sides in which he appeared to aim a headbutt at Colombia goalscorer Jeison Murillo.

Colombia striker Carlos Bacca was also shown red following the fracas at the end of a frenetic group C battle.

Neymar had already ensured he would miss Brazil’s final first round game against Venezuela on Sunday by collecting his second yellow card of the tournament for a deliberate handball in the first half.

Three teams – Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela – now have three points in group C.
