Copa game called off again, date to be fixed

BUENOS AIRES • The rescheduled second leg of the Copa Libertadores football final between Argentinian giants River Plate and Boca Juniors was postponed again on Sunday hours before it was due to start, after Boca complained the match could not be played under fair conditions.

The decisive leg had been scheduled for Saturday but was suspended until Sunday after Boca players were injured when their bus was attacked by River fans outside their Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires. Conmebol said officials would meet the heads of both clubs today to discuss a new date.
