Fans erupted in celebration, and clashes ensued between River Plate supporters and police as Atletico Mineiro secured their place in the Copa Libertadores final with a 0-0 draw against River Plate at Estadio Mas Monumental in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.

Violence broke out as law enforcement struggled to manage the aggressive crowds, resorting to tear gas to disperse the masses and detaining several fans who were unable to enter the stadium.

Reports indicated multiple arrests and the match was delayed by 15 minutes due to the chaos.

The tie concluded with a 0-0 draw, a result that left River Plate fans deeply disappointed, as their team was eliminated from the tournament with an aggregate score of 0-3 in the semi-finals.

"They did not want to go in, we played quite badly compared to what River has been playing but the truth is we are leaving disappointed, we came to look for a victory but Atletico Mineiro deserved it and played a good game, they backed down," said a River fan.

Despite the defeat, another River supporter noted, "We were losing and yet we gave it our all, it is a great fan base so River is much more than a result."

Meanwhile, Atletico Mineiro fans celebrated their team’s achievement, applauding the players for their effort and determination.

"In the first minutes, the game was a little cut, a little nervous, then Galo knew how to control the ball, River had some opportunities to stop the ball, but the best on the pitch was our goalkeeper, Everson," shared an Atletico supporter.

Atletico Mineiro now awaits their opponent in the final, which will be determined by the outcome of the match between Botafogo and Penarol, scheduled for Wednesday night.

The Copa Libertadores final is set to take place on November 30 at River's iconic Estadio Mas Monumental in Buenos Aires.
