At least on Sunday there was leadership and decisiveness. At 2pm local time came the announcement that everybody had half-expected: the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors, having been postponed from Saturday, was going to be postponed again.

CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation, will meet in Asunción, Paraguay, on Tuesday to discuss when and where the second leg will be played. There must also be questions about whether River will be sanctioned for the incidents on Saturday when the Boca team bus was attacked.
