River Plate will play their next two Copa Libertadores home games behind closed doors but keep the 2018 title after Boca Juniors' appeal

River Plate were minutes from defending the Copa Libertadores until Gabriel Barbosa snatched victory for Flamengo

The second leg of the final will be played at River's Monumental stadium on November 24. The match is expected to be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will be in the South American country for the 2018 G20 Summit at Buenos Aires.

It's the most explosive and combustible match in which fans have been banned from travelling to away matches since 2013 due to football-related violence that has seen 305 supporters killed in the last 50 years.
