River’s Maximiliano Salas Seen Hitting Pitch-Invading Boca Fan After Superclásico

City authorities issued a contravention to the 20-year-old after the on-field incursion.

Overview

  • Viral bystander footage shows Salas running up and striking the supporter from behind as River players exited La Bombonera.
  • The fan was identified as Uriel Hamra, who said he entered because a low door was open and that he later deleted his video.
  • Hamra told media he will not press charges and described the player’s reaction as a heat-of-the-moment response.
  • Security and judicial officials reported a contravention for unauthorized entry, identified others who brought prohibited items for Tribuna Segura controls, and scheduled a meeting to weigh possible fines for Boca.
  • As of the latest reports, River had not issued an official statement or announced internal sanctions, and whether the fan’s gestures were mocking remains disputed in the coverage.
