Superclasico, final madness: brawl and as many as seven ejected

It all stemmed from a provocative exultation by River Plate’s Palavecino

The Superclasico ends in a brawl. The highly anticipated match between River Plate and Boca Juniors ended with a victory for the Millonarios (1-0). The decisive goal in the second half, thanks to a penalty kick converted by Borja. Everything happens from there on.

A provocative exultation by Palvecino triggers a maxirissa in which everyone participates, even some players in the stands. Fists and kicks fly. Referee Herrera is forced to stop the match for about 15′ of play. Law enforcement officers are also on the field, as Marca reports. In the end, thanks to the help of VAR, the referee ejected as many as seven players: Palavecino, Centurion and Elias Gomez of River and Valentini, Merentiel, Equi Fernández and coach Almiron.
