RIVER PLATE CAPTURE CONTENTIOUS COPA LIBERTADORES CROWN AFTER OT VICTORY IN MADRID AGAINST BOCA
At Madrid:
In Sunday's second match of the Copa Libertadores Final, which had been originally set for Buenos Aires on November 24, only to be postponed at least twice due to "fan" violence, then moved to Madrid, Lucas Pratto's equalizer in the 64th minute enabled River Plate (the designated hosts) to gain a 1-1 regulation draw with Boca Juniors, deadlocking the series at 3-3 on aggregate.
Then, with the away goals rule dispensed with, Juan Quintero (109') and Gonzalo Martinez (120'+2) each scored an overtime goal as River Plate won the series 5-3 on aggregate.
River Plate will play in the semifinal round of the FIFA Club World Cup at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates next Monday against the winner of Saturday's quarterfinal match between Esperance de Tunis and the winner of Tuesday's opening match between Al-Ain and Team Wellington.

Boca Juniors and River Plate May Not See Eye-to-Eye
However, due to violent attacks on Boca players by River Plate "fans" last week, which saw in last Saturday's originally scheduled second match of the Copa Libertadores Final (2-2 on aggregate after game one) being postponed at least twice.
That contest, originally set to be played at River Plate's home stadium in Buenos Aires, has now been moved out of the Western Hemisphere, to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Spain; the match is set to be contested on Sunday, December 9.
Since when has Spain become a member of CONMEBOL, South America's soccer confederation?
I think that both clubs were challenging the decision to move the match.

RIVER PLATE CROWN TIGRES, CAPTURE THIRD COPA LIBERTADORES CROWN
At Buenos Aires:
Lucas Alario (45'), Carlos Sanchez (PK-75'), and Ramiro Funes Mori (79') each scored a goal on Wednesday night as River Plate dominated visiting Tigres 3-0 in game two of the Copa Libertadores Final and took the series by the same score on aggregate as the Argentinian club won their third South American club championship.
With a Mexican club in the final (Mexico belongs to CONCACAF, not CONMEBOL), River Plate had already assured themselves of the right to represent South America in December's FIFA Club World Cup, set to take place in Japan.

Copa Libertadores Final: Series-Opening Goose Eggs For Tigres And River Plate
At San Nicolas de los Garza, Mexico:
Wednesday's opening match of the Copa Libertadores Final between Tigres and visiting River Plate ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
Win or lose, the Argentinian club will represent CONMEBOL in December's FIFA Club World Cup, since Mexico, as a CONCACAF member-nation, cannot represent South America in the CWC.

Hooliganism, Argentinian Style
Nice going, knuckleheads!
Because of loutish behavior from so-called "fans," Boca Juniors were tossed out of the Copa Libertadores and must play their next four home continental matches behind closed doors.
Boca's arch-rivals, River Plate, won their two-game Round of 16 series by default and will get to play Cruzeiro of Brazil in the quarterfinal round.
