The “Millionaire” was winning and referee Nicolás Ramírez had added 7 minutes. The home team tried in every way and could not break the “millnario” defense.

In the last play of the match, seconds before the end, a cross into River’s box was connected by Milton Giménez, first with his foot, then with his head, then the ball grazed his right forearm and finally bounced off his back. The ball entered the goal and the Boca fans exploded in a single cheer.

After approaching the VAR monitor, Ramírez disallowed the home team’s goal and the first protests began. The one who paid the price was Boca defender Christian Lema, who after repeatedly rebuking the referee was sent off. After the conclusion of the Superclásico, most of the players led by Diego Martínez ran to argue with the referee.
