OT - Boca Juniors v River Plate

[Rothbiz]

It's the first time these two Argentine rivals have met in the final of the Copa Libertadores (south America's Champions League) and the first leg is on telly tonight at 8. BT Sport 2 or FreeSport.

"The last time the two teams met in the Libertadores the second leg could not even be completed, after several River players were left needing hospital treatment following an attack with home-made pepper spray." From the fans I guess but who knows...

Could be emotional , no doubt fat boy Maradona will be there in his Boca shirt acting like a tw@t for the camera's .

Match postponed due to torrential rain in Buenos Aires apparently .

[animallittle3]

Boca currently leading 2-1 at half time .

The stadium and the way the fans are packed in behind both goals looks extraordinarily dangerous , huge fences too erected .

[Rothbiz]

The second leg is tonight but kick off has been delayed due to the Boca team bus being attacked...

I've seen a River Plate league match in that ground.
It was the venue of the 1978 world cup final with the ticker tape that caught on here for a while.
Crazy atmosphere crazy fans.
They unfurled a flag that was 30 times the size of ours.
It was the right way up too
