For a lot of the first-half the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final was exactly what you would expect, cagey and tense.

And then, just before the half-time whistle, Boca took the lead with a glorious counter-attack.

With River Plate nearly scoring Boca countered with a smoothness that a hot knife through butter would be jealous off.
