They Went onto the Pitch Believing They Were Champions, but the Reality Was Completely Different

In the Argentine League, Boca Juniors beat Defensa y Justicia 1-0 and finished at the top of the annual overall table, winning the title. The goal was scored by Enner Valencia in the 90+6th minute.

At Rosario Central, Boca's closest rival in the title race, false information spread in the final moments of the match. Rosario Central, who won their own game 2-0, were said to have had Boca Juniors' goal disallowed. Believing this, players and fans rushed onto the pitch and began celebrating, thinking they were champions.

When news arrived that Boca Juniors' goal had stood and that their rival had won the match, the joy turned to shock and sadness.

The incident recalled a similar situation in Turkish football during the last week of the 2009/2010 season. On 16 May 2010, Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 with Trabzonspor, while Bursaspor beat Beşiktaş 2-1. Over the stadium loudspeakers at Kadıköy, a incorrect announcement was made that the Bursa match had ended 2-2. Fenerbahçe players and fans then went onto the pitch. Shortly afterwards, it became clear that the announcement did not reflect the truth and that Bursaspor had won the title, and there was great disappointment at Kadıköy.
