Like any other classic, River-Boca Juniors was a fierce battle, but this time it went much further. In the end, three sent off from each side, a red card at the final whistle and three players forced to go to the Police Station to testify.

The derby between Milionarios and Xeneizes is never a match. The controversy will continue for weeks, it was the Superclásico with the largest number of exclusions in history: the previous one was that of December 22, 1982, with four exclusions.

The decisive episode

What was the fuse that ignited the scandal? While all the River players celebrated on one side of the pitch, Agustín Palavecino stood in the goal area cheering in the faces of several Bocas players, including Jorge Figal and Sergio Romero.

At that moment, the friendly players attacked the opposing attacker and a great brawl ensued! At that point, at least fifty people took part in the fight and it took the intervention of the police and stewards to quell the violence.
