Surely after 10 red cards both teams would be down to six players?

I also thought the minimum number of players for a match to be allowed to continue was higher than that - eight players or something?

Reds were for substitutes who lost their shit after Boca celebrated their 118th minute winner in front of the Racing fans.

The law applies to players on the field, essentially each team must be able to field a team of seven players on the pitch or it is abandoned.

Maybe Graham Poll was in charge?
