Boca Juniors want to equalize how easy it is, Liverpool since Chen Yu joined, the number of times behind is very few, the vast majority are leading, Liverpool's players are very experienced in how to play the lead, after the game restarted, Liverpool's players quickly returned to defense, strengthened the fight in the midfield, and took advantage of Boca Juniors' eagerness to equalize, and launched a counterattack on the spot after a midfield steal.

Boca Juniors are not idle, the players are active in running, and after losing the ball, they rebound quickly, especially because of the heavy defense of Chen Yu, Kuyt and Crouch can't play speed, and they don't give Liverpool a chance to counterattack.
Several counter-attacking chances in a row were ruined by Boca Juniors, and Liverpool's morale took a bit of a hit, while Boca Juniors' attacking confidence also rose.
In the 25th minute of the game, Boca Juniors launched an attack in the front, Palermo took the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area, Carragher stuck tightly, not letting him turn around, Palermo resisted Carragher with his body, and then half-turned and shot with his feet.
Carragher, who was experienced defensively, was not deceived by Palermo, and when Palermo shot, he reached out to intercept and keep the ball out of the line.
Boca Juniors were awarded a corner.
Liverpool's air defense is good, and Boca Juniors' players have average header ability except for Palermo, and the fans on the pitch don't think Boca Juniors can make much waves on corners.
Liverpool are in the Premier League, the ancestor of headers, where will they be afraid of Boca Juniors' set-piece attack, and they will not be so attentive when defending.
Boca Juniors is very aware of his header ability, and used a lot of scheming when serving corners, first Rodriguez used to prepare to play tactical corners with Cardoso, who served corners, and then took advantage of Liverpool's distraction, Cardoso suddenly sent a corner kick, and Palacio quickly nodded from the penalty area to the front of the goal.
It was definitely a very cunning set-piece combination, and with Liverpool being a little careless, Boca Juniors' tactics were actually successful.
Palacio hit the near corner of the goal, and when defending the corner, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina stood in the middle, he didn't move when Palacio was running, until he saw Palacio about to head the goal, he moved over quickly and saved, but how could he block Palacio's header at such a close distance in such a short time, Reina's body has not completely fallen, Palacio's top ball has flown into the net against the post.
1:1
After scoring the goal, Palacio stretched out his arms and ran to the stands like a big bird flying, shouting excitedly: "! ”
No wonder Palacio is so excited, the 25-year-old Palacio is no longer a little fresh meat, he is now in desperate need of a chance to play in Europe, and the Club World Cup is undoubtedly the best stage for him to sell himself, the whole world is watching this final, scoring this goal will allow him to get more attention, no wonder Palacio is so excited.
Boca Juniors coach Russo, who was still wilting, burst into the pitch with his arms raised after Palacio's goal.
The fourth official on the sidelines was not so excited, and stretched out his arms to stop Russo, who was a little carried away.
Russo smiled awkwardly at the fourth officer, turned around and hugged the assistant coaches who came running over.
Benitez looked at the bright red numbers on the electronic scoreboard, furious, and shouted at the assistant coaches: "It's only five minutes ahead!" It was only five minutes before it was equalised! How is this defended! Is this line of defense paper-paste? ”
The assistant coach looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, just now the defense was indeed a bit low-level, and it was actually broken through by Boca Juniors with a corner kick, which is a bit embarrassing for the Premier League team.
The Liverpool players on the pitch were also asking what was going on as Boca Juniors celebrated, having just let Palacio head the ball unguarded, and Ager, who had defended him, was the most responsible, but even a person who interfered in the past did not indicate that the other players had problems too.
Ag was a little frustrated, "It's my fault, I didn't keep up." ”
Captain Steven Gerrard said: "Don't blame each other, everyone is at fault for conceding goals. ”
Carragher said: "That's it, don't complain, play the next games well, it's still a long time, you can't let Boca score again." “
Chen Yu, who scored the goal, said: "Scoring goals is not all the credit of the striker, and conceding goals is not all the responsibility of the defender. ”
Gerrard, Carragher, Chen Yu, the speeches of the big names in the team made Liverpool's players no longer complain about each other and focus on the game.
The game started again, this time Liverpool stepped up their attack and Boca Juniors counter-attacked with all their might.
Liverpool pressed up on both sides this time, and the number of people involved in the attack in the front field has reached seven or eight, but Boca Juniors' defense is very resolute, except for Palermo, almost all the players have come back to defend, Liverpool's attack has not been too good, but Boca Juniors' counterattack has two chances to shoot.
Then Liverpool put the focus of the attack on Chen Yu, Gerrard also moved closer to the left, and Chen Yu launched the most fierce offensive, under the attack of Chen Yu and Gerrard, Boca Juniors' defense took care of one or the other, and was Pennant and Kuyt got a lot of opportunities on the right side, but Boca Juniors defended too many players, and Liverpool's several shots on goal were not able to pose much threat to Carranta.
In stoppage time at the end of the first half, Liverpool's defence was a little lax, and Boca Juniors, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly counter-attacked, and Palacio, who had equalised, suddenly stabbed forward and stabbed the goal, but the linesman raised the flag to signal that Palacio had been offside before the goal.
Boca Juniors were very unhappy with this, and coach Russo rushed into the field to accuse the referee of receiving a yellow card.
However, the verdict has been handed down, and Boca Juniors has no way to change it, so they can only accept the score of 1:1 at half-time.
At half-time, Benitez was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, not that he underestimated the Copa Libertadores title, but that Liverpool lost the ball too quickly after taking the lead and was not concentrating enough.
In the Boca Juniors dressing room, Boca's manager Russo also recognized Liverpool's strength through the half-game, he did not force the players to beat Liverpool, but hoped to keep the current score, and strive to break Liverpool's goal through counterattacks, if you can't score, it doesn't matter, it is also a victory to drag the game into a penalty shootout, Russo believes that they have a greater advantage in the penalty shootout.
Due to the difference in the dressing room arrangements between the two managers, the performance of the players on both sides after the start of the second half was also different, with Liverpool playing more aggressively and with more determination and confidence to win, while Boca Juniors were more defensive and hoping to score on the counter-attack.
Boca Juniors played evenly with Liverpool in the first half, thinking that there would be no problem in holding on to a draw in the second half, but they didn't expect that Liverpool, who were full of firepower, let them taste the pain in the first five minutes.
Liverpool were awarded a corner in the 50th minute, when Carragher and Aager both ran to the Boca Juniors box to fight for a header, but Alonso's ball was headed over by Boca defender Paletta and fell to Cardoso.
Liverpool's centre-backs were worried about Boca Juniors on the counter-attack, and Carragher and Aager rushed back.
Cardoso grabbed the ball and found that there was no one in front of him, so he wanted to bring it forward, but he didn't expect to be stolen from behind by Chen Yu without taking two steps.
Chen Yu quickly went down to the side of the penalty area and crossed to find Crouch, Crouch did not grab the landing point, and the Boca Juniors player at the back point pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
Liverpool's two centre-backs didn't go far at this time, and when Agger saw the ball flying out of the box, he ran two steps to meet it with a heavy shot.
Ag's shot was purely a jujube shot, and the force was extremely fierce, and he didn't think much about it at all, but he also dribbled the ball, and the ball actually flew straight to the dead corner of the goal.
With the power of Agger's shot alone, the goalkeeper was very difficult to save, and the angle was so tricky that Boca goalkeeper Caranta could only look at the ball and sigh, and he couldn't even make a full save, and the ball flew into the net.
2:1
Agger, who had just marked the ball and conceded the goal, made up for it and overtook the score for Liverpool again.
Scoring in the first five minutes of the second half, Agger ran a few steps in excitement, fell to the ground and played gliding.
This is really good at playing, Liverpool's players are all driven by the honest man Ager, Gerrard, Chen Yu, and Alonso all follow Ager to do gliding movements.
Boca Juniors' players looked at each other one by one, and their idea was to defend the counter-attack and try to drag it to the penalty shootout, and they did not expect to concede the goal in the first five minutes, which was not only a morale but also a strategic blow to them.
Boca Juniors' head coach Russo is almost crazy, there is no surprise that a team like Liverpool wins Boca, but such a giant does not crush with strength, but scores two goals with luck, which makes Russo not angry, his strength is not as good as people, and his luck is even less than people, which is simply not passing.
The voice of the narrator at the scene almost raised an octave, "In!" Entered! Liverpool entered! Central defender Ager scored, Liverpool took the lead again, only five minutes into the second half, the score was 2:1, the game was still in suspense, but the possibility of Liverpool winning the championship has greatly increased, and the suspense is not much. ”
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was in a good mood and waved at the stands, which immediately erupted in applause.
In the VIP box, Gillette and Hicks laughed relatively loudly, the expression on their faces was extremely satisfied, Liverpool, an ancient giant, has won almost any honor, but has not won the Club World Cup, and now this deficiency is finally going to be made up for under their rule, and they have finally left a heavy mark in Liverpool's history, which makes the two of them feel as sweet as eating honey.
In another box, Boca president Pompiro was so angry that his nose was about to crooked, and he lost the ball at the beginning, he really doubted how Russo was arranged in the locker room, no wonder the league played so badly, Pompiro wanted to fire Russo immediately to relieve his anger.
