Argentina: River Plate defeat by Belgrano sparks violence

Fans invaded the pitch and confronted players as Belgrano defeated River Plate 2-0 in Wednesday's first leg of their relegation playoff - a result that put Argentina's most successful club on the brink of a humiliating relegation.

Just after Belgrano went ahead 2-0 early in the second half, dozens of hooligan fans - at least one wearing a mask - ripped through a fence, raced across the pitch and taunted and shoved River Plate players.
