Superclásico chicanery: Marcos Rojo's provocation and the River Plate players' spicy dedication

In the 264th edition of the Argentine Superclásico , the world saw River Plate beat Boca Juniors 2-1 and move closer to the record. The truth is that this duel, played at the Más Monumental stadium, was an intense match, with both teams, with different approaches, fueling the spectacle.

It must be said that the pre-match also left many things and one of them was the controversial appearance of Marcos Rojo in the tunnels of the Millonario stadium, in a rather provocative attitude, since the Xeneize captain came wearing the club's clothing, but with the cap of the Boston Red Sox (a baseball team) that curiously had a red letter " B " on the front, which could be taken as a taunt for the Millonario fans in memory of that relegation that occurred in 2011.

It must be said that Rojo's performance wasn't his best either, receiving a yellow card early in the match for a foul on the edge of the box that Franco Mastantuono converted into Núñez's first goal. In the 67th minute, he was replaced by Lautaro Di Lollo.

River Plate won the Superclásico by beating a strange and inconspicuous Boca Juniors 2-1. After the match, the Millonario players celebrated with a spicy dedication to their arch-rivals.

"A minute of silence for Boca, which is dead," was the chant of the River Plate players in the middle of the field, while they watched the fans who accompanied them from the stands.

Recall that Marcelo Gallardo's team had already won the previous Clásico with a 1-0 victory at La Bombonera. This time, the goals were scored by Franco Mastantuono from a free kick and Sebastián Driussi . The equalizer was scored by Miguel Merentiel after a distraction from Germán Pezzella.
