Argentinos Juniors’ German Basualdo was the next man to go, early in the second half, before Eduardo Dominguez saw red for All Boys.
The next red card went to Argentinos Juniors match-winner Juan Jose Morales, who was sent off after receiving a two fast yellow cards after being first booked for a taking his shirt off when scoring and then for a tackle from behind.
