Topic: Copa Libertadores


  
  Copa Libertadores de América - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name of the tournament is an homage to the Libertadores, the main leaders of the independence wars of Latin America: Simón Bolívar, Pedro I of Brazil, José de San Martín, Antonio José de Sucre, Bernardo O'Higgins and José Gervasio Artigas.
Note that unlike European club competitions, the Copa Libertadores historically did not use extra time or away goals to decide a tie that was level on aggregate.
It has been recognised as a precursor to the Copa Libertadores by the South American Federation, but is not counted as being as significant as the first official competition in 1960, created as a rival to the European Cup which had been competed for since 1955.

SAO PAULO, July 31 (Reuters) - Paraguay's Olimpia won the Libertadores Cup for the third time on Wednesday, coming from behind to beat Brazilians Sao Caetano 2-1 in the second leg of the final and then winning a penalty shootout 4-2.
Olimpia, beaten 1-0 at home in last week's first leg and in apparent disarray after the shock resignation of the club president on Monday, seemed to be in more trouble when Ailton gave Sao Caetano a first-half lead.
Olimpia converted their first four penalties in the shootout while Sao Caetano's Marlon and Serginho both skied their efforts wildly over the bar to give the Paraguayans the title in the fourth successive Libertadores final to be settled by a shootout.
