Brazilian soccer star Neymar was ejected from a game on Thursday after celebrating a goal in an unusual way.
Neymar, 19, dribbled past several defenders and chipped the ball past the goalie to score a sensational goal for his Santos team in the Copa Libertadores.
After scoring the goal, Neymar picked up a paper mask that had been thrown on the field and wore the mask upside down as he continued to celebrate his goal.
But the referee was not amused and handed Neymar his second yellow card of the game for an illegal celebration, thus causing the emerging soccer star to be ejected from the game.
Neymar was ejected from the game after only playing 52 minutes.
