    BUENOS AIRES, April 30 (Reuters) - A penalty taken and converted 24 days after it was awarded gave Argentina's Atlanta a 1-0 win over Defensores de Cambaceres in a second division match suspended because of a crowd riot with five minutes to go.
    The teams played the remaining five minutes, starting with the penalty that sparked the riot, behind closed doors at a neutral ground. Striker Lucas Ferreiro scored from the spot.

    Better late than never, I suppose.

    So they took the penalty and played 5 minutes. Was there another game or was that it?
