Both Fluminese and Boca Juniors were cut to ten men as tempers and emotions flared in a memorable Copa Libertadores final on Saturday night. In extra-time, John Kennedy, a 21-year-old striker with many ups and downs in his short time, scored the winning goal to give Brazil's Fluminense its first title against Argentina's Boca. Yet just seconds after scoring the second in their 2-1 victory at Maracana Stadium, with his ferocious volley from the left corner of goalkeeper Sergio Romero's left leg, Kennedy was sent off for his second yellow card after rushing into the crowd to celebrate his eventual winner.

After Brazilian police were seen firing rubber bullets at Boca Junior fans on Copacabana beach, the Copa Libertadores final is now in danger of being played behind closed doors. The final of South American club football's premier competition is scheduled to be played at 8 p.m. BST on Saturday night at the legendary Maracana stadium for Fluminense and Boca Juniors. Despite Fluminense being Rio-based, a large number of Boca supporters have poured into the Brazilian city in the run-up to the clash, with 100,000 Xeneize supporters overrunning the Brazilian city.

Edinson Cavani, Sergio Romero, and Marcos Rojo were among the game's pivotal characters as Argentina's Boca Juniors defeated Brazil's Palmeiras 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw to advance to the Copa Libertadores final. The Brazilians went on at the break a goal down after Cavani opened the scoring for the visitors in the 23rd minute by prodding a cross from Miguel Merentiel, who was on loan from Palmeiras. But their fortunes soon changed, with fellow Old Trafford apologist Rojo sent off for his second bookable offence on 66 minutes before equalizing in the 73rd with a deflected shot from the box's edge.

But landscaping works carried out by the Sihans had to raise and level their back lawn, causing floods in Georgina Partakis-Stevens' (inset) and Laurence Stevens' garden, according to the High Court.

On Sunday night, Boca Juniors and River Plate in Argentina were a hysterical conclusion to one of the most fiercest rivalries in all football. Six players were called off in extra time, three from each team, when a major brawl erupted soon after a late and ultimately crucial River penalty put them 1-0 up against Boca. Stewards and riot police were required to help split the teams up, and when the teams finally cooled, the referee called off three players from both directions, as well as Boca coach Jorge Almiron.

Erik ten Hag has quickly established himself as the most efficient team at Manchester United. Since the Dutch coach made bold calls to remove Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire's names, four Premier League games have seen no changes to his squad selection, resulting in four straight victories. Ten Hag has the opportunity to shuffle his luggage in the Europa League group stage, but the game against Real Sociedad on Thursday night is expected to be a very different United XI. Summer signings have boosted competition for spots within the squad, leaving a number of players in the squad looking to impress on Europa Thursdays and return to the weekend.
