The much awaited River Plate versus Boca Juniors began with tension and controversy. With less than 15 minutes on the clock, the visitors were reduced to 10 men.
Marcos Rojo is known for his ill-discipline. but he was unlucky on this occasion. His first yellow was for foul on Brian Romero and the second was for kicking Palavecino.
In the first incident, the Argentina international pulled his legs away to try and stop himself seriously injuring his opponent.
But he saw the yellow there and then referee Fernando Rappalini gave him a second yellow for his challenge on Palavecino. River are now 2-0 up thanks to two Julian Alvarez goals.
