(CNN) --
The World Cup referee Facundo Tello showed 10 red cards in the final of the Champions Trophy of the Argentine Super League this Sunday, after Carlos Alcaraz, midfielder of Racing Club, caused a brawl before the Boca Juniors fans with his celebration of the winning goal.
With the tie at one, Alcaraz hit a header in the last minutes of extra time to give Racing the victory.
However, his prolonged celebration in front of the opposing team's fans angered the Boca players, who, as seen in a video, grabbed Alcaraz by the ear and threw a ball at him.
Tello, who will be one of the referees at the Qatar World Cup, expelled Alcaraz and drew five red cards from Boca players after the altercations.
In total, seven red cards were shown to Boca players and three to Racing players over the course of the match.
