River Plate's Agustin Palavecino and Boca Juniors' Marcos Rojo and Luis Vazquez were summoned to testify by Buenos Aires prosecutors following a fiery brawl that led to seven red cards in River's 1-0 win in the Argentine derby on Sunday.
Palavecino then celebrated the goal in front of the Boca players, triggering a brawl that stopped the match for 16 minutes, with the stadium police having to intervene, resulting in three players being sent off from each side, as well as Boca coach Jorge Almiron. "Marcos went to help the team because he is the captain and he went to collaborate, he didn't go to harm anyone," Boca Juniors president Jorge Amor told Reuters.
"A lot of people entered the pitch and had nothing to do there. I saw a big crowd and only saw Luis separating people."
