World football governing body,FIFA is investigating an incident involving Brazil's press officer and Chile player Mauricio Pinilla during Saturday's World Cup last-16 match.
Rodrigo Paiva said he pushed striker Pinilla during what is reported to have been a heated discussion at half-time between members of both camps.
"I defended myself when he came near me. I reacted by shoving him," he said.
Fifa spokeswoman Delia Fischer said the disciplinary committee was looking into the matter.
Brazil won 3-2 on penalties in Belo Horizonte to reach the quarter-finals.
The hosts will face Colombia in Fortaleza on Friday.
