Soccer hooligan kicked to kerb

– A member of Boca Juniors’ football hooligan gang was deported from Spain ahead of tomorrow’s Copa Libertadores showdown against River Plate in Madrid, police said, amid a massive security operation for a game rescheduled due to violence.

The second leg of the final was scheduled for November 24 in Argentina but was postponed, then moved to Madrid, after several Boca players sustained injuries when rocks were thrown at their team bus as it arrived at River’s Monumental stadium. – Reuters
