Neymar was one of five players sent off after a mass stoppage-time brawl marred Paris St Germain's 1-0 defeat to Marseille at the Parc des Princes.
Brazilian Neymar, the world's most expensive player, was shown a straight red for his part in an ugly fracas at the end of an ill-tempered game, which was settled by Florian Thauvin's first-half goal.
Neymar's team-mates Leandro Paredes and Layvin Kurzawa were also shown red cards by referee Jerome Brisard, as were Marseille pair Jordan Amavi and Dario Benedetto.
Tempers erupted in time added on after Paredes' shove on Benedetto. Kurzawa raised a boot at an opponent and players from both sides became embroiled in the fracas.
Neymar was the fifth player sent off after Brisard had consulted VAR, with replay footage clearly showing the forward punch Alvaro Gonzalez on the back of the head.
It was later reported that Neymar accused Gonzalez of racism as he walked off the pitch.
PSG's defeat leaves the reigning champions without a win in their first two Ligue 1 matches and they currently sit in the relegation zone.
