Al-Nassr star, Sadio Mane and Al-Shabab defender, Iago Santos were involved in a scuffle during the Saudi Pro League game between the two sides.
The Senegalese star, who scored in the 4-0 win for his team, confronted the Brazilian after a hard tackle moments earlier.
The linesman on the far side had to quickly intervene to separate Mane and Iago Santos as the situation threatened to boil over.
In a video shared on social media, the two players shoved each other roughly and appeared to exchange words before the official intervened.
