Ten players were sent off as Racing Club won the Champions Trophy final which ended early as Boca Juniors only had six players on the pitch.

With seven Boca players sent off, including two on the bench, Racing led 2-1 when play was stopped.

The rules state that a match cannot continue if a team has less than seven players.

Carlos Alcaraz’s 118th-minute winner in San Luis was the flashpoint of the big event as he celebrated in front of the Boca fans.

Boca players surrounded him, grabbed him by the ear and threw the ball at him.

Referee Facundo Tello sent Alcaraz off with five Boca players, including Dario Benedetto, an unused substitute, and Carlos Zambrano, who had been substituted earlier. Unused racing substitute Jonathan Gilvan was also shown a red card.

Boca’s Sebastián Villa and Racing’s Johan Carbonero were sent off in the 95th minute after brawling, while Boca’s Alan Varela was shown a second yellow five minutes later.

Earlier, Narberto Brisco opened the scoring for Boca before Racing’s Matias Rojas equalized in the first half.

Argentinian Tello will be umpiring in the World Cup starting November 20.
