Mauro Zarate and Ramón Wanchope Ábila staged an altercation in the second half of the Superclásico between Boca and River by Diego Maradona Cup after the Cordovan denied the former Velez striker a clear chance to convert, sparking a heated discussion that ended with both on the substitute bench.
The play occurred 10 minutes into the second half, when Wanchope received a pass that left him hand in hand with Franco Armani, who topped him in good shape when Zárate detached himself from his mark and was facing the empty goal but the Cordovan decided to define instead of qualify his partner and River’s goalkeeper covered his shot with cunning.
Zárate, enraged, insulted him loudly while all River claimed to the line Gabriel Chade and to the referee Fernando Rapallini the illicit position of Wanchope when he took the pass of his partner, a scene before which Miguel Russo decided to take out his two forwards, who continued the discussion off the pitch.
