GAME OVER - Brazil owns Argentina again today haha
River loses 3-2 (5-2 global)
Sao Paulo on to the final
much respect to the River crowd and the players,other than the fact they booed some of their own players like Gonzalez etc.. nothing bad happened.
EDIT: LMAO spoke to soon........
BUENOS AIRES, June 29 (Reuters) - South America's Libertadores Cup was blighted by more crowd violence on Wednesday as Sao Paulo beat River Plate 3-2 away in their semi-final second leg to cruise into the final.
The Brazilians, already 2-0 ahead from the first leg, completed a 5-2 aggregate and condemned River to a semi-final defeat for the second year running.
Danilo, Amoroso and Fabao scored for Sao Paulo, who reached the final for the first time since 1994, while Ernesto Farias and Marcelo Salas replied for the Argentines, who never threatened to overturn the first leg deficit.
Off the field, television pictures showed River fans hurling missiles at rival supporters in the upper tier of the stadium.
The contingent of around 1,000 Sao Paulo supporters was forced to leave ten minutes before the end while River fans fought with police.
Sao Paulo also complained that fans stoned their team bus on the way to the stadium, breaking three windows, Brazilian media reported. Nobody was reported hurt.
Two weeks ago, a crowd riot forced the quarter-final second leg between Boca Juniors of Argentina and Guadalajara of Mexico to be called off in the 79th minute at the Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires.
Last week, River fans clashed with riot police while the River team bus was pelted with stones by rival fans before the first leg at Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium.
WILD TACKLES
The game itself produced another of the controversial refereeing performances which have marred the tournament, this time by Chile's Ruben Selman.
Selman did not send off River midfielder Javier Mascherano, who was booked early on and then committed three apparently blatant yellow card offences without receiving another caution, infuriating Sao Paulo.
He also did not punish what looked like a blatant tackle from behind by Carlos Diogo on Amoroso.
River had banked on an early breakthrough but instead it was the visitors who took the lead when Danilo headed in from a 12th minute corner.
River's best spell came in the last ten minutes before halftime.
Farias equalised with a superbly taken goal, controlling a free kick on his chest and volleying past Rogerio Ceni in the 35th minute.
Then, Marcelo Gallardo hit the post and later forced goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni to turn his shot around the post in successive attacks.
Sao Paulo killed the tie when Junior burst down the left and set up the second for Amoroso in the 58th minute.
Fabao added the third in the 80th minute and Salas pulled one back for River four minutes later.
Atletico Paranaense have a chance to make it an all-Brazilian final when they face Guadalajara away in the other semifinal second leg on Thursday. Paranaense have a 3-0 lead from the first leg.
