Asuncion (APA / dpa) – Following clashes between fans before the last Copa Libertadores return match, the South American Football Federation CONMEBOL has sanctioned the club of the Argentine capital, River Plate. The team is scheduled to play the first two games next year before empty hearings, said the president in a ruling issued Thursday by the Disciplinary Tribunal of the Association.
In addition, the club will have to pay a fine of 400,000 US dollars (351,277.77 euros).
At the same time, the court rejected the request of its rival, Boca Juniors, River Plate, to be awarded the title without a second leg. The first leg between the two clubs was 2: 2 over. Clubs may appeal decisions of the badociation.
Last Saturday, River supporters threw stones at the Boca team bus as they made their way to the stadium. Several players were injured. The final was then postponed until Sunday and canceled again. The security minister of the city of Buenos Aires resigned after the riots.
