Felipe Anderson committed a hard foul on Neymar near midfield and was booked by the referee.

Immediately afterward, with play stopped, Escobar kicked the ball at Andreas Pereira and was also shown a yellow card.

Tempers flared on both sides, and the referee had to repeatedly insist that only the captains, Neymar and Murilo, approach him.

See below how the situation unfolded:
