Edina Alves was officiating the match when Neymar approached her.
A video that has already reached Brazil’s Sports Justice Tribunal captured the exact moment: the forward, visibly furious over an officiating call, allegedly told her “You’re horrible! You’re very bad, go to hell*”. The Prosecutor’s Office now has that material in its hands and is assessing whether to file a formal complaint against him.
If the investigation confirms the insult, Neymar could face serious sporting sanctions. Meanwhile, the image of the referee being humiliated in the middle of the field is already making the rounds on social media, and the question everyone is asking is the same: what will happen now to the Brazilian star?
