Marcos Rojo may be enjoying life in his native Argentina after a disastrous spell with Manchester United, but the defender was left red-faced after celebrating his late strike — only to see his team Boca Juniors concede seconds later.
Boca had taken the lead through Lucas Vazquez in the 34th minute before they were pegged back on the hour mark by Sebastian Lomanoco. With the Argentine giants heading for a 1-1 draw with Arsenal de Sarandi, the hosts won a late penalty with a chance to snatch all three points on 74 minutes.
Rojo stepped up and converted with ice in his veins, unleashing a fiercely passionate celebration in front of La Bombonera’s faithful. A win would have put Boca top of Group B in the Argentinian Primeira Division after winning five of their first seven matches.
