EAGER fans began celebrating a derby win in Argentina with FIREWORKS before the final whistle had even gone.
The incident occurred during a football clash last night in the Primera B Nacional.
Independiente Rivadavia welcomed their Mendoza city rivals Deportivo Maipu to their Juan Bautista Gargantini Stadium for a top of the table showdown.
The 28-year-old Juan Manuel Elordi fired the hosts into an early lead.
They were then reduced to ten men when Ezequiel Ham was sent off with 21 minutes remaining.
But Deportivo Maipu soon found themselves a man down when Nicolas Samuel Agorreca was dismissed.

And things got even worse for the visitors when Alex Adrian Arce Barrios doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.
Deportivo Maipu pulled one back through Marcelo Eggel with four minutes to go but it proved to be too little too late.
That result lifted Independiente Rivadavia above their rivals into top spot of group B in the Argentina second tier – but the celebrations actually started BEFORE the final whistle.
With seven minutes of additional time added on, there was still over a minute to go when a huge rocket firework exploded from behind one of the goals.

As play continued, that was incredibly followed by crazy scenes as a host of other fireworks were let off while Deportivo Maipu continued to attack and push for an equaliser.
A huge cloud of smoke filled the stadium, but still the match played on, as the fireworks continued to go off.
Dozens more were then let off from the crowd as finally the referee blew the final whistle – which naturally led to wild celebrations on the pitch and even more fireworks.
