Juan Manuel Insaurralde and Jonathan Silva had to be pulled apart by their team-mates to prevent the incident from escalating.

We know that football is a game were passions tend to reach high levels, but being professional footballers demands discipline and respect, especially when it comes to your own team-mates.

Two Boca Juniors' players got into a fist fight during Tuesday's training session, prompting their team-mates to forget about the ball and try to separate them. Juan Manuel Insaurralde and Jonathan Silva traded blows for about six seconds, before coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto and other players separated those involved in the tussle.

After breaking up the fight, Barros Schelotto sent both players to the dressing room, while demanding them to reconsider their role in the team or if they want to be part of it in the near future.

Here's a closer look at the fight between the two players.

This incident was not overlooked by Boca Juniors president, Daniel Angelici, who used his Twitter feed to reveal both players will have to pay a fine for their actions.

"What happened between Insaurralde and Silva in today's training session was in the heat of the moment, but it can't be tolerated"

"It's not the kind of behavior we want from our players at Boca Juniors. So, it's been decided that both will be sanctioned."

The fight between both Argentineans became a world-wide trending topic for over 4 hours, racking up more than 33,000 tweets.
