Copa Libertadores final suspended after bus attack

The Hindu  

The Copa Libertadores final second leg has been rescheduled for Sunday after Boca Juniors' bus came under attack outside El Monumental. Boca travelled across Buenos Aires with the final tied at 2-2 after the opening game at La Bombonera, but deciding a winner will have to wait. CONMEBOL medical officials had deemed the injuries sustained to be "superficial" and approved the match to proceed on Saturday despite Carlos Tevez's protests that Boca was unfit to play. The final, the first to be contested by the Buenos Aires rivals, is finely poised at 2-2 following a rollercoaster first leg across town at La Bombonera.
