Video: Neymar and Carlos Bacca sent off following embarrassing scenes at Copa America

Well, that escalated quickly

Ben Kiely

There was a hell of a lot of drama in the Copa America on Wednesday night.

Both Neymar and Carlos Bacca were handed red cards after the final whistle of Colombia’s 1-0 over Brazil in the Copa America.

 

Colombia became enraged when Neymar fired a ball into the back of Pablo Armero, as the match ended, and a melee formed.

Neymar then went head-to-head with Jeison Murillo, before Carlos Bacca sprinted over and forcefully shoved the Barcelona star.

The referee then showed Neymar a second yellow for his involvement in the scuffle, before brandishing the red to give Carlos Bacca his marching orders.

Check out the mental scenes in the video embedded below.
