Ex-Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo was given his marching orders for booting a River Plate attacker in the head in Boca Juniors’ 1-0 win on Sunday.
The 32-year-old has been known for his hot-headedness since his return to native Argentina. Last year, he was filmed throwing a punch and picking up a fire extinguisher during a fight in the tunnel following the club’s Copa Libertadores exit.
And it seems the heat of the nation’s most fierce domestic derby got to him in the dying embers of this weekend’s tie. With 30 seconds of added time left to play, River Plate attacker Nicolas De la Cruz went up for a headed 50-50 ball.
