The day after Chile's 3–3 draw against Mexico in their second group match,
Jorge Sampaoli gave the players a day off from training. They had to return to the training ground by 9pm, but
Arturo Vidal did not arrive. He had been involved in a traffic accident on his way back to the ground, and arrested for
driving under the influence. He spent the night in jail, and appeared in court the morning after. His driving license was revoked, and he was sentenced to pay for the damage done. Although there was speculation that he would be dropped, Sampaoli opted to keep him on the team. An on-pitch brawl broke out following Colombia's 1–0 win over Brazil in their second group match; Brazilian captain
Neymar deliberately kicked the ball at opponent
Pablo Armero and attempted to headbutt Colombian matchwinner
Jeison Murillo, earning a red card. As a result, Colombian forward
Carlos Bacca retaliated by pushing Neymar over, and was himself sent off. CONMEBOL fined Neymar $10,000 and suspended him for four matches, ruling him out for the remainder of the tournament, while Bacca was suspended for two matches. In Chile's quarter-final victory over Uruguay, full-back
Gonzalo Jara poked Uruguayan forward
Edinson Cavani in the anus, and then fell when Cavani slapped him in retaliation. Both Cavani and Jara received a yellow card for the incident, which resulted in Cavani being sent off because he had previously received another yellow card for insulting one of the referees' assistants. Jara was later suspended for two games, which made him miss the rest of the tournament. His club,
Mainz 05 of Germany, criticized Jara for the incident and stated that he would be sold. However he would remain with the club until 16 January 2016 when he agreed to terminate his contract with them. == References ==
