At the end of the match, tensions between Boca players and their fans were high. Goalkeeper Chiquito Romero lost his temper when he heard the insults and went straight to the stands to confront some fans.
His teammates tried to stop him, but the goalkeeper was disoriented. To make matters worse, the Boca fans also fought among themselves, between those who insulted and those who defended the team.
The episode was reminiscent of the scandal at the Copa America when Uruguayan players took to the stands to confront Colombian fans.
