Tigre players 'had guns pointed at them' on night of shame for South American football

Tigre president Sergio Massa has described last night’s abandoned Copa Sudamericana final against Sao Paulo as one of the most shameful days in Brazilian football history and urged the Argentinian Football Federation to take strong action after claims his players were the victims of violence.

Brazilian hosts Sao Paolo were crowed champions after Argentinian side Tigre refused to return for the second half at the Morumbi stadium, claiming their players had been attacked by security officials in the dressing rooms during the interval.
