Salas winks at Estudiantes fans with a cheeky gesture 👀 | OneFootball

The forward seemed to ask for encouragement from the Pincha fans, which provoked a reaction from the players and the crowd. He was already booked.

Maxi Salas had several clashes with the Estudiantes players during River's 2-1 victory and also angered the crowd that filled the Estadio Uno.

During the second half, the player from Corrientes raised and waved his arms in a clear gesture asking for support from the Pincha fans.

Logically, what Salas did generated a reaction from the Estudiantes players, who immediately surrounded the former Racing player.

The detail is that Salas already had a yellow card and could have received another for the provocation, although referee Nicolás Ramírez did not consider it that way.

At that moment, the team led by Marcelo Gallardo was already playing with 10 players due to the expulsion of Lucas Martínez Quarta for a double yellow, at 39 minutes of the first half.

The defender saw the first yellow for a foul on Santiago Ascacibar that could have been more, and a couple of plays later, he saw the second yellow for a foul on José Sosa.

The Millonario was winning from the start with goals from Giuliano Galoppo and Ignacio Fernández, while Estudiantes managed to narrow the gap at the end with a header from Santiago Núñez.

Núñez started the match on the bench, but at 18 minutes he had to come on for the injured Leandro González Pirez.
