Boca Juniors, River Plate Draw 2-2 in Copa Libertadores Final First Leg
River Plate and Boca Juniors played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg of the 2018 Copa Libertadores final on Sunday.

The rivals will meet again in the second leg on November 24, this time at River Plate's El Monumental stadium.
