BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Boca Juniors teammates Juan Insaurralde and Jonathan Silva issued a public apology on Tuesday after a training ground fight.
The pair had to be separated by other Boca players after coming to blows during a practice match on Monday.
"I want to say sorry to Jony (Silva), my teammates, the coaching staff and the fans," Insaurralde told a news conference.
"What I did wasn't right. Things boiled over during a five-minute period. There is a good feeling in the team and this came out of nowhere. I can promise that it won't happen again."
Silva, sitting beside Insaurralde, said: "It was something that happened in the heat of the moment. It won't go any further than that. We can laugh about it now. Everything is great within the team. I want to say sorry to everyone."
Boca are currently lead the Argentina Primera Division standings, three points ahead of second-placed Newell's Old Boys.
