Unsportsmanlike conduct by former Manchester United star.

Individual mistakes and a foul made Marcos Rojo the target of criticism in Racing Club's 0-2 defeat to River Plate.

The former Manchester United player had a day to forget.

On April 13th, Marcos Rojo continued to make a negative impression as Racing Club suffered a defeat against River Plate in the 14th round of the Argentine National League. The 36-year-old central defender endured a nightmare match, making a mistake that led to a goal conceded and being sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The first turning point came from a seemingly simple situation in the 33rd minute. From a long ball from the visiting team, Rojo had the advantage over Facundo Colidio but mishandled the ball with a failed tackle, allowing the opposing striker to score the opening goal. This mistake put Racing on the chase for the remainder of the match.

As the home team pushed forward in search of an equalizer, the pressure caused Rojo to lose control. In the 80th minute, during an off-ball challenge with Lucas Martinez Quarta, he swung his arm forcefully, hitting his opponent in the head. The referee initially didn't see it, but VAR intervened. After reviewing the footage, a direct red card was issued.

Playing with ten men completely cost Racing the game, before Sebastian Driussi sealed a 2-0 victory for River Plate in injury time. This was Rojo's 17th appearance for Racing since joining on a one-year contract. However, he has yet to provide the necessary consistency, and has even consistently left a negative impression.

Just a few months ago, the center-back scored an own goal and unintentionally caused a serious head injury to a teammate. This series of incidents is significantly damaging Rojo's image.

Once a key player for Manchester United with 122 appearances and 3 titles, Rojo is now facing a harsh reality in his homeland.
