City of Genoa offers to host Libertadores final as Security Minister resigns over bus attack

Martin Ocampo has resigned his cabinet post in Buenos Aires while the fate of the aborted fixture remains shrouded in uncertainty

The city of Genoa has offered to host the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between bitter Argentinian rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate.

The conclusion of the first Superclasico final in Copa Libertadores history was initially planned for Saturday, but an attack on Boca's team bus led to a delayed kick-off and subsequent postponement.

CONMEBOL planned for the game to go ahead on Sunday but it was again postponed, with no new date or venue yet confirmed by South American football's governing body.
