Neymar has been given a one-match provisional ban after he was shown a red card after Brazil's 0-1 defeat against Columbia.

Neymar will miss Brazil's final group match against Venezuela on Sunday, the BBC reported.

The South American Football Confederation will review the case on Friday, after which the Barcelona star could face a harsher punishment.

Neymar was shown a red card after kicking a ball at Colombia's Pablo Armero in frustration after the final whistle before appearing to head butt another player who confronted him.

In the scenes of chaos after the match, Columbia's Carlos Bacca was also sent off for a disciplinary heave.
