For the first time in 18 years, a club from Argentina didn't play in the Copa Libertadores final.

With the first game tied 0–0, Nacional crowned champion after winning the second leg 1–0 with goal by striker Waldemar Victorino, achieving their second Copa Libertadores title.^[2][3][4] Victorino was the top scorer of the edition with 6 goals.^[1]

The finals was played over two legs; home and away. The team that accumulated the most points —two for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs was crowned champion. If the two teams were tied on points after the second leg, a playoff in a neutral would become the next tie-breaker. Goal difference was used as a last resort.
