Boca Juniors defeated River Plate with a goal from Darío Benedetto at the Bombonera on matchday 18 of the Professional League. After that, Marcos Rojo sent a curious message to Marcelo Gallardo in statements to the press.
Before the victory of the 'xeneizes', Gallardo referred to what it means for them to play at the Bombonera: "Stages are changing, today it shows us differently because we have different players. We feel comfortable going to their stadium, playing against their fans stimulates us . The last time we played with people was a long time ago and the desire to impose ourselves is what I feel. I see it in the players, eager to face it this way".
Asked about River's coach statements, Marcos Rojo was firm with his answer: : "We are calm. I don't know why they feel comfortable, since they haven't won since I've been here. So everything continues as normal".
Rojo was sent off in the Superclásico of Argentina
On one of 'Millonarios' attacks, Marcos Rojo tried to clear the ball and ended up hitting Nicolás de la Cruz on the head.
There was only one minute left of the seven added by referee Darío Herrera to the match, and Marcelo Gallardo's team didn't stop pressing.
In the final minutes, the 'millonarios' launched themselves to equalize with the 'xeneizes' entrenched in their field. Rojo was sent off at the 96th minute for a foul. In that free-kick, River Plate had the last opportunity, but Rossi put out the alarms with a good intervention.
