Juan Qunitero's decisive strike in the final moments of extra-time won the Libertadores for River and put an end to the farce of the 2018 final.
Sunday’s re-re-arranged final between River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid was a fine spectacle on the Bernabeu pitch; energetic, committed and fully befitting of the occasion that the pre-debacle build-up in Buenos Aires three weeks ago had promised the world.
Amidst all the consternation that the game was going ahead under such circumstances, it was easy to forget that there was a final still to be settled on Sunday. The score was 2-2 after a first leg that seems like a lifetime ago at Boca’s La Bombonera on November 11.
The final will be recorded as a win for River, 3-1 in extra time to seal a 5-3 aggregate victory.
