...broken out of a wall-rained down on the field. A huge Negro, Matías ("Bomba") Rojas, with a police record for previous attacks on referees, came scrambling over the 9-ft. barbed-wire-topped fence separating the stands from the playing field. And the cry went up: "Ahí va Bomba [There goes the Bomb]!" The cops caught him just before he could reach the referee. "I hate to see Peruvians lose," he muttered as the police hustled him off the field. "I don't know what happens to me. I get hot all over...
