The fight started when Boca goalkeeper Sergio Romero was taunted by River\u2019s Agustin Palavecino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPalavecino came to shout the goal to our faces,\u201d former Manchester United goalkeeper Romero said after the game. \u201cI reacted well, I grabbed him from his waist and asked him why he was doing that. My teammates thought I was about to fight, and they all came.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Palavecino did is a terrible lack of respect, and I told the River players to their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police and stewards had to intervene to stop the fight between the teams and the game was halted for 10 minutes before referee Dario Herrera showed seven red cards.<\/p>\n<p>With the aid of the video assistant referee (VAR), Herrera showed a straight red to River\u2019s Palavecino, Ezequiel Centurion and Elias Gomez of River, as well as Boca\u2019s Miguel Merentiel, Ezequiel Fernandez and Nicolas Valentini. Boca head coach Almiron was also dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Romero was unimpressed by the refereeing, including the decision to award a penalty when Pablo Solari went down in the area following contact from Agustin Sandez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe leave with a very bitter and sad feeling,\u201d Romero said. \u201cThe penalty should not have been awarded. The referee didn\u2019t even review it. The game got out of his hands. It\u2019s difficult to understand the red cards, the referee told me that it was because they were throwing punches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>River captain Enzo Perez labelled the brawl \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that it is not right on either side, because it is not the image that we have to give to the outside,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t agree with what happened at all, it\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>River coach Martin Demichelis preferred to focus on the positives as his team celebrated a win that kept them nine points clear of San Lorenzo at the top of the standings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there was a team that deserved to win it was us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Boca are 13th in the league table with 18 points from 15 games.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miguel Broja\u2019s stoppage-time penalty sparked a melee between Boca Juniors and River Plate players \u00a0 The Superclasico between River Plate and Boca Juniors on Sunday saw seven red cards shown in stoppage-time following a mass brawl between the two sides.
