BUENOS AIRES, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Bolivian champions Aurora fought with riot police during a game on Sunday with their goalkeeper using a corner flag as a weapon.

Cerro Porteno beat arch-rivals Olimpia 3-1 in a fiery meeting of Paraguay's biggest clubs in which two players, both coaches and a ball boy were sent off.

Aurora beat local rivals Wilstermann 1-0 in a Cochabamba derby which ended in uproar after the winners had Eduardo Zenteno sent off late in the game.

Centeno dallied over leaving the field and around one dozen police came on to hurry him up.

Other Aurora players leapt to Centeno's defence and aimed karate kicks at the police, who responded by using pepper spray. At one point, Aurura goalkeeper Silvio Dulcich picked up a corner flag to use as a weapon against the officials.

The referee appeared to abandon the game at one stage but changed his mind after Wilstermann protested.
