During the Superclasico football match between River Plate and Boca Juniors at La Bombonera in Argentina, River Plate defender Gonzalo Montiel received a red card and had to be escorted off the field by security personnel wielding riot shields after being pelted with beer cans by Boca fans. The match, which ended in a 1-0 victory for Boca Juniors, was marked by intense tackles, heated arguments, and tense moments.
Early in the game, Lucas Martinez Quarta of River Plate was sent off for pulling the shirt of Boca striker Miguel Merentiel. Boca took the lead through Lautaro Di Lollo in the 74th minute, increasing the pressure on River Plate. In the 79th minute, Montiel was shown a red card for a late tackle on Lautaro Blanco, leaving River Plate with only nine players on the pitch.
After being shown the red card, Montiel taunted Boca Juniors supporters by pointing towards himself and the River Plate badge on his shirt and making a circular gesture with his finger, referencing River Plate's victories over Boca in major finals. The taunting and subsequent abusive behavior from Montiel provoked a furious reaction from Boca fans, who threw objects, including beer cans, at him.
Security staff quickly intervened, using riot shields to protect Montiel from the objects thrown at him.
