At Buenos Aires:

In Sunday's opening game of the Copa Libertadores Final (postponed from Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch), Lucas Pratto (35') and Carlos Izquierdoz (OG-61') each scored once as River Plate gained a 2-2 road draw with Boca Juniors.

Ramon Avila (34') and Dario Benedetto (45'+1) delivered the first-half goals for the hosts.

The series set to conclude on Saturday, November 24 at River Plate's home pitch.  The winner would play in the semifinal round of next month's FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
