Moments after the referee had called time on Colombia’s 1-0 win in Group C, Neymar blasted the ball against Pablo Armero before appearing to headbutt Jeison Murillo.
That infuriated opposition defender Carlos Bacca, who charged over and shoved the Barcelona forward, with both players then being sent off by the referee.
"Neymar is a footballing lie," Asprilla said on Twitter. "Neymar, just go to Hollywood already!"
Neymar and Bacca have been handed provisional one-match bans.
The tournament's disciplinary tribunal has given the Brazilian and Colombian football federations 24 hours to prepare a case for their defence and definite sanctions will be announced on Friday.
