Note: In all scores below, the score of the home team is given first.
The finals were played on a home-and-awaytwo-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. However, CONMEBOL required that the second leg of the finals must be played in South America, i.e., a finalist from Mexico must host the first leg regardless of seeding. If tied on aggregate, theaway goals rule was not used, and 30 minutes ofextra time was played. If still tied after extra time, thepenalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.[1]
Alejandro Silva opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when he picked up a pass near the right wing and set off on a run towards goal before hitting a low left-footed strike from just outside the box giving the goalkeeper no chance.[6]Wilson Pittoni got the second goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time when he curled a right footed free-kick past the goalkeeper who was hampered by his own defender in his way on the line.[7]
