South America’s premier soccer league championship match, Copa Libertadores, has been postponed until Sunday after the team bus for the visiting Boca Juniors was attacked on the way to the stadium in Buenos Aires.
Boca players sustained cuts and bruises to their legs and “corneal abrasions,” according to medial reports obtained by the international press, though the team did not permit doctors from CONEMBOL, the governing body of South American soccer, to examine the players. Boca was scheduled to play the second leg of the final against home side River Plate of Buenos Aires; the first leg, played earlier this month, ended in a 2-2 tie.
