(Reuters) - River Plate must play their next two Copa Libertadores home games behind closed doors for their part in the violent fiasco that forced the postponement of the 2018 final, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on Tuesday.

The second leg of the 2018 final between River and arch rivals Boca Juniors was called off after River fans attacked the Boca coach as it approached the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires.
