The Boca Juniors bus was attackedThe Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) have handed River Plate a two-game stadium ban for the incidents ahead of the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final in 2018. The Buenos Aires club were due to host cross-city rivals Boca Juniors after having drawn 2-2 in the first leg in November 2018, but the game was postponed after an attack on the visitors' team bus. A CAS statement read: "The panel considered that the appropriate sanction to be imposed on River Plate for the bus attack was two matches behinds closed doors, to be applied to River Plate's next two home matches in the Copa Libertadores. River Plate won the Copa Libatadores for a fourth time with a 5-3 aggregate win over rivals Boca Juniors"The CAS Panel found that while River Plate had violated the CONMEBOL Disciplinary Regulations it could not order the disqualification of River Plate from the 2018 Copa Libertadores since such sanction would have been excessive in the circumstances of the case." River Plate went on to win the Copa Libertadores in Madrid with a 3-1 win on the night after extra time.
