Central & South America

We all love a good rivalry, but this attack on the Boca Juniors bus is going way too far.

Fans from River Plate attacked the bus of rival Boca Juniors ahead of the second leg of their Copa Libertadores final on Saturday, leaving at least six players injured. 

At the time of this article being published, the match was twice delayed but schockingly still scheduled for late Saturday, with many attributing FIFA president Gianni Infantino with trying to force Boca to play despite the poor condition of many players.

Tuesday night’s friendly match between Argentina and Mexico was a fittingly strange closing to a strange year for both nations: Mauro Icardi scored his first international goal at the eighth time of asking, and Paulo Dybala also opened his account in his 18th appearance.
