Chelsea and Flamengo players clashed after Moises Caicedo lunged into Jorginho during a feisty first half clash.
Shortly before Pedro Neto gave the Blues a 1-0 lead in the Club World Cup encounter, Caicedo attempted to regain possession for his side.

Caicedo was then seen shouting in the face of Jorginho, who was left in a heap on the floor as his Flamengo teammates began to protest.
Referee Ivan Barton showed a yellow card as tensions between the two sides began to increase.
Jorginho was able to continue for Flamengo, who started the match strongly.
But they then found themselves 1-0 down in the 13th minute.
Neto made the most of a defensive mix-up from the Brazilian outfit and raced through on goal before slotting past Agustin Rossi.
It’s the second Club World Cup match in a row that Neto has broken the deadlock after he fired the Blues ahead in their recent 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Flamengo came close to equalising towards the end of the first half, but Levi Colwill did well to clear off the line.
Chelsea then appealed for a penalty after a foul on Enzo Fernandez, however nothing was awarded following a swift check from VAR.
Enzo Maresca’s side also saw Neto and Liam Delap booked after the earlier tackle from Caicedo.
