Neymar picks out Lionel Messi again - I've probably written this 10 times so far - but the Argentine puts it wide from about 10 yards out.

Barcelona look like scoring with every single attack. They are just so electric up front.

Luis Suarez is found in space but the keeper comes out to deny him. And then Neymar curls a shot over the bar from outside the box. It's non-stop attack.

Neymar with some outrageous skill leaves two defenders on the ground and is only denied by a brilliant last-ditch tackle in the penalty area. For a second I thought it was a penalty but it was a great challenge.

Neymar finds Lionel Messi again in a quick passing move but keeper Marcelo Baravero rushes out and saves. How are you meant to defend against these guys?

Neymar finds Lionel Messi, who shoots straight at keeper Marcelo Barovero from about 10 yards. Luis Suarez was standing next to Messi and would have had an empty net to tap into had the Argentine found him.

That's Luis Suarez's fourth goal of the tournament - I think we can presume he's going to win the golden boot.

Game over? Probably. Sergio Busquets plays a brilliant first-time ball over the top which Luis Suarez races onto and fires through keeper Marcelo Barovero, who should have done better.

That really was magnificent from Busquets, who usually isn't known for his wonder-passes.

And now we're under way for the second half.

Double change for River at the break. Leonardo Ponzio and Rodrigo Mora come off. Gonzalo Martinez and Luis Gonzalez come on.

They're coming back onto the pitch. Nobody seems to be in any rush to get this second half going.

Players are in the tunnel in Yokahama - almost ready to go for the second half again. Can River mount a comeback?

Barcelona lead at half-time thanks to Lionel Messi's fourth goal in three World Club Cup finals.

Ivan Rakitic. More like Ivan Hackitic. The Croatia midfielder is booked for a cruncher on Tabare Viudez.

Lionel Messi finds Luis Suarez, who attempts to play the ball back across the box for Messi but keeper Marcelo Barovero cuts it out.

Is River's game plan out the window?
