Rojo got his marching orders in the 16th minute of the game, with his indiscipline costing his team the game.

River went on to win the clash 2-1, despite Boca's best efforts to at least escape with a draw.

The game between the two giants was the first Superclasico to take place in front of fans in the stadium since 2019.
