As expected, the Super classic last Sunday, in which River prevailed with a 1-0 over Boca in the end, he left some images to remember, but not for the reasons that are usually associated with the game. After the controversial penalty that the referee Darío Herrera sanctioned in favor of the millionaire, converted by Miguel Borjathe steering wheel Augustine Palavecino he went to celebrate the goal in the face of the xeneizes players, which aroused the anger of the rivals and quickly escalated in a gigantic brawl between starters, substitutes and members of the coaching staff of both teamswith the exception of the scorer, who stayed celebrating next to the pennant.
The game was stopped for more than 10 minutes. until the brawl died down, and Herrera was forced to make a decision regarding how to identify the aggressors and punish them properly. Aided by an extensive VAR review, the referee finally decided to send off three players per team: Palavecino and the substitutes. Elias Gomez y Ezekiel Centurion they saw the red in the local team, while in the visitor three footballers left who were on the field of play in Nicholas Valentini, Miguel Merentiel y Ezekiel Fernandezin addition to DT Jorge Almiron.
Borja’s goal and the fight at the Monumental
The passage of time did not cause the animosity between the protagonists to calm down, quite the contrary. All of Boca continued to protest the penalty and the referee’s decision to leave the Ribera club with eight players on the pitch compared to River’s tenwhile on the other side the discussion continued due to an exchange of statements between the technician Martin Demichelis y Nicholas Figal. But the most important and tangible consequences would be seen when the scope of the punishments of the Disciplinary Court towards those involved, which finally ended up being rather soft: only one game suspension for most of those sent off.
The only exceptions were Equi Fernández and Almirón, to which a disqualification date was added. for recidivism, but the final balance was much lighter than what was warned. There was not, for example, an ex officio sanction for Alan Varelawhom the television cameras showed giving a punch from behind to Enzo Diaz in the middle of the riot.
Nor do they compare with the punishments that the same court administered once morest the last brawl of a similar size in a high-voltage match, such as the final of the Champions Trophy between Boca and Racing in November last year. At the time, the two players who received the most apprehensions were not even involved in violent acts; Dario Benedetto saw four dates of inactivity for gesturing towards the referees, while Carlos Alcarazwho played his last official game with the academy that followingnoon, they gave him three games for similar reasons.
On date 16, the one that most of those expelled will meet, both Boca and River will return to the field on Sunday. The xeneize will receive belgrano in the Bombonera at 7:00 p.m., and then the Núñez club will travel to Córdoba to face workshops. Almirón and Fernández will also be absent for their team’s visit to Argentineson Friday the 19th at 9:30 p.m.
