There was plenty of tension on the pitch during Saturday's Brazil and Chile second round World Cup game and now it seems that there was also some tension off the pitch too.
FIFA could be taking action against the Brazilian communications director Rodrigo Paiva following an incident between him and Chilean player Mauricio Pinilla.
Tariq Panja of Bloomberg tweeted that there was an altercation between the two in the tunnel.

A FIFA spokesperson told the Associated Press:
There has been an incident and the disciplinary committee are currently analyzing the matter.
Also, according to the Associated Press, Paiva claims that several individuals were involved and that he did now throw any punches but simply pushed the player in self-defence.
