Horror tackle
A pre-season 'friendly' in Argentina between Boca Juniors and Racing Club was overshadowed by a violent challenge from Boca defender Leandro Marin that left Racing’s Ricardo Centurion writhing on the ground in agony in the 30th minute.

The referee quite rightly gave Marin his marching orders, leaving the Buenos Aires outfit down to nine men after another red card earlier in the first half.

Not surprisingly, Boca went on to lose the ill-tempered match 4-1.

Marin's challenge brings back memories of Kevin Muscat's equalling shocking challenge on Adrian Zahra in the Melbourne Derby in 2011.
