Nobody, with the exception of Diego Maradona, can convert La Bombonera into a mosh pit quite like Carlos Tevez.

After Rodrigo Bentancur scored the fastest goal of the Primera Division season so far (34 seconds) in Boca Juniors' fixture versus Newell's Old Boys on Saturday, Tevez kept the party going in the sixth minute by curling a 20-yard free-kick past Luis Unsain in the coolest of fashion in the sixth minute.

Having caused Unsain psychological distress, Tevez, albeit accidentally, then inflicted physical pain on the Argentinian 'keeper just before the interval, kneeing him in the face while running at top speed.

Newell's confirmed after the final whistle that Unsain suffered a double fracture to his lower jaw.

Boca, meanwhile, went on to win the game 4-1.
