BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Boca Juniors hung on for a 0-0 draw with bitter rivals River Plate on Sunday after playing Argentina's "Superclasico" with 10 men for almost 75 minutes at La Bombonera.

In a typically tense clash between the Argentine giants, played against a backdrop of non-stop chanting and drum beating, Boca were reduced to 10 men after 13 minutes when Pablo Perez was sent off for kicking River defender Eder Alvarez Balanta.
