The famous Brazilian forward was rude in the first match of the group round of the tournament.
The disrespectful incident took place during the group stage of the Asian Champions League between Saudi Al-Hilal and Uzbek Nawbahor.
This episode took place in the 60th minute of the game, and its author was the famous Brazilian striker Neymar. The former PSG and Barcelona player had a conflict with opposing football player Izmoilov, who refused to move away from the ball while taking a free kick. The star football player, in turn, could think of nothing better than to push his opponent, and when he fell, he too was hit by the ball.
However, what was even more inappropriate was the reaction to Neymar’s provocative behavior on the part of the referee: the referee only showed him a yellow card.

It should be noted that the UAE referee Mohammed Abdullah Hassan tried in every possible way throughout the match to help the famous hosts. In addition to the fact that he did not send Neymar away, he also added 14 minutes to the main time of the game, thanks to which Al-Hilal managed a goal in the 100th minute of the match and avoid defeat. The match ended in a 1:1 draw.
Let us remind you that earlier they demanded the death of the former Manchester United player in the first match played in almost two years.
