BTW, what happened to Pumas in the first half?!?
I honestly dunno. Boca had the iniciative. Basile probably read correctly the way Pumas played against Corinthians and Vélez (the key: two contention midfielders, and if you notice how Leandro recovers the ball, you can count a third contention man). For a moment before their goal, Boca looked like the home team.
España made good changes at half time: from 4-4 (two contentions)-2 to 5 (two defender-wings)-3-2, and a bet for fastness (changing dribbling Ailton and "Post" De Nigris for swifter men: Iñiguez and Botero). The guy who shifted positions was Pikulín Palacios. It worked.
