I stumbled across this match Sunday on the Internet. This is a game with wide-open offense. The highlight clips don't begin to do it justice.
Yes, the first goal of the match was an own goal.

Penarol gave River Plate an own goal to start the game, fell behind 3-1 in the first half, pulled to 3-2 before half time, then scored twice in the last 10 minutes to win the game.
