Boca midfielder Pablo Perez was in need of medical attention as a result of the coach attack and was swiftly taken to hospital once the coach reached the safety of the stadium.
Seeking to bring the situation under control, police forces resorted to the use of pepper spray in order to disperse the crowds and allow the damaged coach safe passage through to the stadium.

Pepper spray usage however spread into the coach, with Boca players complaining of discomfort as a result ahead of what is set to be their most important match of the season.

The fixture is finely poised at 2-2 following the first leg clash between the two teams and, following the incidents in the build up to Saturday's final, an emergency meeting of Conmebol officials was held.

The animated swelling of supporters outside the stadium soon became considerably more subdued, as scenes of singing and excitement turned into hushed tones as fans quickly realised the game was in danger of being postponed.

News quickly spread of multiple Boca players suffering severely with the effects of pepper spray and throwing up as a result.

Talisman Carlos Tevez was among those affected, while Leonardo Jara was also said to have been cut by glass as a result of the windows smashing.
Local news crews were able to gain access to the Boca coach once the players had disembarked, and broadcast images of the wreckage that remained. Several windows could be seen to have been smashed open, with glass and debris strewn across the vehicle.

Upon reaching the dressing rooms of the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, some Boca players took to social media to show the aftermath of the disastrous arrival to the ground.

Players wiped their faces in the changing room and dealt with the feelings of dizziness and nausea caused by the pepper spray, while club medical staff attended to others.

Releasing an official statement via their official social media channels, CONMEBOL announced:
"Due to the events of the Boca Juniors Club bus, the game has been postponed until at least 18:00 hours [local time - 10.00pm Nigerian time]."
At present there has been no further follow up regarding whether the game will officially go ahead this evening.
