What Neymar Said To The Referee During Brazil Vs. Costa Rica

Neymar didn't react well when Bjorn Kuipers touched him.

The influential Brazilian star left it late as he netted in the dying stages which preceded Philippe Coutinho opening the scoring in the 91st minute.

However, minutes prior to Coutinho's goal, drama ensued.

Neymar was adjudged to have been fouled inside the box with Kuipers pointing to the spot. Though his decision was overturned through VAR.
