The midfielder made headlines at the weekend when he was caught up in a mass brawl during Shanghai SIPG's 1-1 draw with Guangzhou R&F.

The Brazilian kicked the ball aggressively at two opponents that sparked a frenzy between both sets of players.

Oscar escaped with a yellow card, with R&F's Li Tixiang and SIPG's Fu Huan eventually sent off.
