Copa Libertadores final

CHG

This game is amazing.

Been a great game. It wasnt a terrible own goal but knowing Boca Izquierdos will get death threats for that OG.

I'd like River to win, I'm not sure why Boca are the more popular team for neutrals. Maybe the Maradona connection or because the Bombonera looks unique.

Thanks...shouldn't say this but was watching it at work, had to go out on the plant at 20.30 when an alarm came through.

Second leg tonight, in River Plate's stadium, and nicely poised at 2-2.

Boca had 60,000 fans turn up for a training session on Thursday! Shame it's no away fans but really looking forward to the game tonight.

Kick off delayed after the Boca Juniors team bus was attacked by River plate fans. Windows smashed and tear gas thrown onto the bus. Reports some players hospitalised and the game may even be postponed.

How the hell can this game go ahead? At least push it back 24 hours.

Chippycafc

Thanks guys... Think its off or delayed

Chris_from_Sidcup

Boca's captain has been taken to hospital with glass shards in his eye............and CONMEBOL are still insisting the game takes place. Crazy.

Chris_from_Sidcup

Pathetic if true.

Boca are literally being forced to play by Infantino, and basically it's for money/tv reasons.

River and Boca should've both said they weren't going to play, he couldn't have disqualified them both.

Boca can't be in any fit state to play and this is just rewarding the River fans who attacked the bus.

Imagine if Boca somehow defy all the odds and go and win, not sure they'd be getting out of that stadium alive tonight.

Similar to the Liverpool fans attacking the City bus.

How many boca fans will be outside when the game finishes, if it ever starts?

Away fans are banned.

Latest rumour is Boca were threatened with a 5 year ban from international competitions if they didn't play tonight.

Kick off now put back to 10.15 UK time.

You can ban them for the ground not from their own city! Still not looking like being played

Fans clashing with police outside the stadium now, game now rumoured to be played tomorrow

Chris_from_Sidcup

After all that, the game is now officially suspended and will be played tomorrow. 8pm in the UK.
