Neymar featured for the full 90 minutes as Al-Hilal were held 1-1 by the minnows from Uzbekistan.
Navbahor took the lead after 52 minutes and a frustrated Neymar’s temper flared soon after.
He was unable to take a quick free-kick as an opponent was standing in-front of the ball.
The former Barcelona and PSG man was furious and pushed him to the ground.
He then fired the ball at the player as he fell to the floor.
Neymar picked up a yellow card because of the incident.
Fans slammed his behaviour, one said: “This is why no European club was interested in him, he is so toxic.”
Another suggested he might want to get a red card, commenting: “Is his sister’s birthday coming up or something?”
