BREAKING NEWS: CONMEBOL postpones Copa Libertadores final
CONMEBOL has agreed to Boca Juniors' request to further postpone the Copa Libertadores final second leg.
The rescheduled Copa Libertadores final second leg between River Plate and Boca Juniors has been postponed, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez has confirmed.
The match was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, but a 24-hour delay was agreed after Boca's bus was attacked by River fans on the way to El Monumental stadium.
Windows were smashed by projectiles and Boca players Pablo Perez and Gonzalo Lamardo were taken to hospital for assessment.
Boca subsequently requested the match not be held on Sunday, leading CONMEBOL to arrange a meeting of all parties at their headquarters in Paraguay on Tuesday to determine a new date and time.
La nueva fecha de la final será analizada y decidida en una reunión en Asunción el martes 27 a las 10 de la mañana con los presidentes de los clubes finalistas, Boca Juniors y River Plate.November 25, 2018
"It is a shame that we are in a situation like this [because of] some misfits," Dominguez told Fox Sports.
"The image that has been sent to the world is the wrong one, this is not the football that we want. The conditions are not [equal], given there is a team that was attacked.
"When the XIs of each club enter the field, we want there to be equal conditions. We want to see a show.
