Edouard emails in: “How amazing would it be if Boca came out to play and won this game ? Certainly would go down as one of the greatest wins / stories of all time… but the brain says that if they do play, it will certainly be a River win.Anyhow, I’d be very curious to know what the Boca fans did to earn their suspension. Seeming as River will still play this with 100% home support and all.All in all an interesting first game of Argentinian football for me.”
The ban has been in place for some years now, since 2013. Violence is a big problem in Argentinian football, as the world is finding out today.
