Atletico holds on to deny River a place in home final
Atletico Mineiro drew 0-0 at River Plate to reach the final of the Copa Libertadores for the second time.
The team featuring veteran striker Hulk had beaten its rival 3-0 in the first leg of the semi-final.
The festive atmosphere at the full Monumental de Nunez Stadium with more than 80,000 fans did not affect the Brazilian side, which had some of the clearest chances to score.
Atletico’s rival in the decider will be decided on Thursday, and it is very likely to be fellow Brazilian side Botafogo. The Rio de Janeiro-based team will play at Uruguay’s Penarol after winning the first leg 5-0.
Brazilian teams have won the tournament for the past five years.
The final will be played on 30 Nov at the same Monumental de Nunez Stadium in Buenos Aires.
