Soccer games can sometimes get pretty heated, and fights on the pitch aren't exactly an uncommon occurrence.

They don't usually take place between two members of the same team, though.

On Sunday, Flamengo took on Corinthians in Brazil's Série A football league.

At some point in the match, Vizeu and Rhodolfo -- two Flamengo players -- almost got into a fully-fledged fight.

It's unclear what the original fight was about, but there was no ambiguity about what Vizeu did shortly after the confrontation took place.

Here's a longer video.

We're not sure that celebration's going to catch on, but it's certainly a memorable one.
