The Copa Libertadores final has been suspended after shocking fan violence left players injured and rattled.

The game will go ahead tomorrow instead.

It appeared the game would go ahead despite the crazy scenes, but in the end saner heads prevailed with the decision to postpone.

SUSPENDED. Finally common sense has prevailed. River-Boca will be played tomorrow at 5pm. — Daniel Edwards 💚 (@DanEdwardsGoal) November 24, 2018

FIFA had been slammed for trying to force Boca Juniors stars to play in the Copa Libertadores final despite a bus attack that hospitalised players.

A number of Boca players were injured after their bus was attacked on the way to the final against River Plate on Saturday.

Boca star Carlos Tevez has spoken out to suggest his team are in ‘no shape’ to play but are being ‘forced to.’

OFFICIAL: @FIFAcom (Infantino) has just told @TanoAngelici that if Boca do not play today, they will be disqualified. #Libertadores2018 — Juan G. Arango 🇨🇴 🇮🇹 (@JuanG_Arango) November 24, 2018

“There are three or four players with slight injuries. Just want to let our families know we are fine, but unable to communicate,” Tevez said according to journalist Juan Arango.

“We are in no shape to play, but are being forced to do so.”

“I am shocked that this is happening. When the tear gas came, I had an allergic reaction.

“We just wanted to come and tell people that we are being forced to play despite having teammates that are not in the best condition.

“Yet executives at AFA, CONMEBOL and FIFA want us to play in a few minutes and we are not even changed yet.”

Boca chairman Daniel Angelici requested the second leg be suspended, but South American soccer body CONMEBOL said it would delay kickoff for only one hour. The Boca bus had several windows broken by stones and wooden sticks thrown by River fans near River’s Monumental de Nunez Stadium. Several players were hit by shattered glass and suffered the effects of tear gas and pepper spray used by police to contain the violence.

Footage showed players Perez, Carlos Tevez, Nahitan Nandes, Dario Benedetto, Mauro Zarate, Ramon Abila, and Agustin Almendra among the injured. Perez was sent to a nearby hospital.

“They threw pepper spray at us, all sorts of objects,” striker Benedetto said. Police made arrests in the area of the stadium, but it was not clear whether those were connected to the incidents.

CONMEBOL executives were expected to meet FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who came to Buenos Aires to attend the match, for a final call on whether the final should proceed or not.

Meanwhile, 66,000 River Plate fans were in the stadium waiting for a match that has been one of the most anticipated in Argentine football history. No visiting fans are allowed in the stadium, following a 2013 ban on away fans to stop football related violence in Argentina.

Boca and River drew 2-2 in the first leg two weeks ago.
