COPA LIBERTADORES FINAL POSTPONED AFTER BOCA BUS ATTACKED » Argentines expected the final of the century. Instead, they were witnesses to one of the biggest embarrassments in South American football history.

The Copa Libertadores final was postponed to Sunday after Boca Juniors players were injured when their bus was attacked by River Plate fans.

CONMEBOL President Alejandro Dominguez announced the decision on Saturday, only 10 minutes before the final was supposed to start.

“One team didn’t want to play and the other didn’t want to win under these conditions,” Dominguez said.

Boca players were injured in their bus just five streets from River’s Monumental de Nunez Stadium when rocks and pieces of wood thrown by River supporters shattered the windows.

Some players were also affected by tear gas and pepper spray used by police to quell the violence.

Boca captain Pablo Perez and teenager Gonzalo Lamardo were taken to nearby hospitals, where fans gathered in support. Perez had injuries to his arms and an eye, according to images of Boca’s locker room shared on social media. Lamardo had trouble breathing because of the gas.
