Riquelme spent the majority of his playing career with Boca, who are based in a district of Buenos Aires.

The 46-year-old won 51 caps for Argentina and became president of the club last year.

Gimnasia and Boca fans have a history of violence, with one spectator dying following an altercation in 2022.

On Wednesday night, with Boca leading 1-0, fans began to clash in the stands at Rosario’s Estadio Marcelo Bielsa.

Seats were thrown from the Boca end into the Gimnasia fans before skirmishes broke out among rival supporters.

The game was halted as fans attempted to break down barriers, with police firing tear gas into the crowds.

Riquelme, along with board members Chicho Serna, Raul Cascini, and Marcelo Delgado, dashed from their private box to intervene.

The former midfield maestro was caught on camera begging with Bocas ultras to stop, with one hugging their hero.

Riquelme’s pleas were eventually heeded by Boca fans who retreated away from the barriers, preventing further trouble.

One fan gasped on X in response to the footage: “Never seen a club president do this, at least not for a big club. His actions probably prevented things from escalating.”

Another said: “Boca’s situation is already unsustainable.”

While a third added: “This is actually crazy.”

On the field, Boca had taken an early lead in the tie thanks to Aaron Anselmino.

The tie eventually went to penalties, with Boca winning 2-1 after a host of misses from the visitors.

Danny McGuire: Castleford Tigers name former assistant as head coach

Danny McGuire: Castleford Tigers name former assistant as head coach

BBC Sport rugby league reporter Matt Newsum

The decision to appoint Danny McGuire is, to some extent, a gamble given his relative inexperience as an out-and-out head coach but there is every reason to suggest he is the perfect fit for such a post.

First of all, his rugby league brain made him one of the sharpest halves around, so he understands the sport inside out.

He has played under some esteemed coaches such as Tony Smith, Brian Noble, Brian McDermott and Tim Sheens, and coached alongside Smith during his time at Hull KR, where he did get a taste as interim boss in succeeding his old mentor.

McGuire has done hard yards as an assistant and has an appreciation and understanding of the set-up at the Tigers already having worked on Craig Lingard’s staff.

I don’t think there is a person in rugby league who doesn’t warm to the personality of McGuire, a thoughtful, reflective and decent human being – he is someone you would want to play for.

He seems likely to be joined by old Rhinos team-mate Brett Delaney who has recently left Hull KR’s staff and who is also highly thought of.

Tsunoda thinks “background” elements prevented earlier Red Bull test

Published

on

Yuki Tsunoda is surprised it has taken Red Bull so long to offer him a Formula 1 test, but thinks elements in the “background” have stopped it happening before now.

As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier this week, Tsunoda is being lined up for his first proper run in a Red Bull F1 car after the season finale in Abu Dhabi.

The details have not been finalised yet – and Tsunoda admits the plan could yet fall through – but he has expressed delight that he appears to be finally getting the opportunity.

“I think that this will happen, maybe” he said ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix. “But with Red Bull Racing, you never know until the day.”

Despite having raced for Red Bull’s sister squad under its AlphaTauri/RB identity since  2021, the Japanese has only ever managed to drive a Red Bull car in demo runs.

Asked if he was surprised it has taken so long to get to this point, Tsunoda said: “If you asked that in the second year or third year I’d be very surprised, but it’s up to me to get used to it.

“I kind of got used to how difficult [it was] to get even a single day [of] testing [when I am] outperforming most of the team-mates previous years.

“But yeah, there are probably things that I didn’t really know [about], something going on around the background that I didn’t know. And for sure, at the same time, there’s probably the view that I’m not really able to improve as much as they wanted at this level, especially for radio communications.”

Although Tsunoda would have hoped to have his Red Bull opportunity before now, he thinks even a single day of running will give him a chance to demonstrate what he can really do.

“It’s a very good opportunity,” he said. “At least I finally can show a bit of my driving and they just can see how I’m driving.

“I think it’s very important. So at least it feels great. Finally, they’re giving me an opportunity. I don’t know if it still happens or not, but there’s something even I heard from them directly. So, yeah, I try to maximize my opportunity.”

Tsunoda has also thanked Honda, which has supported his career and played a key role in pushing Red Bull to give him the F1 run.

“Definitely Honda helped me to push that testing,” he added. “I am very appreciative of them.

“Obviously, I was pushing since already the first race, as well, even for last year. But yeah, I was able to show results that I [have] stepped a little bit more compared to last year and also there was a push to Red Bull as well.”

Man Utd coach Darren Fletcher charged with misconduct after win against Brentford


Manchester United first-team coach Darren Fletcher has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his side’s 2-1 win against Brentford.

Fletcher is alleged to have acted in an “improper and/or confrontational manner” and using “abusive and/or insulting words” towards the match officials during the Premier League victory at Old Trafford on 19 October.

United were furious following Brentford’s opener, which came when defender Matthijs de Ligt was forced to leave the field for a third time to deal with a cut on his head.

Manager Erik ten Hag and assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy both received yellow cards for their protests, while Fletcher confronted the officials at half-time as they made their way to the tunnel.

Fletcher, who made 342 appearances for United, has until 29 October to respond to the charge.
