Neymar scores, gets sent off for wearing mask of his own face

In a matter of moments, Neymar showed off his superior skill and hazardous immaturity during Santos' Copa Libertadores group stage match against Colo Colo on Wednesday night. With Santos already up 2-0, Neymar skipped the ball over the flailing legs of defenders and chipped the keeper to give his side a 3-0 lead in the 51st minute.

He decided to celebrate the way he toyed with Colo Colo by grabbing a mask of his own face from someone in the stands and putting it on upside down. Funny, but not to the ref, who showed Neymar a yellow card for illegal celebration. And since that was his second booking of the match, it was quickly followed by a red card.

Three minutes later, both sides had a player sent off to make it nine against 10 and Colo Colo used that advantage to score twice in the final 10 minutes before each side had another player sent off in added time. Final red card tally: Five. Neymar's goal remained the difference in the end, though, with the score finishing at 3-2.

Actually, that might be how Neymar's hairdo is supposed to be worn.
