		The winners of the Liguilla qualified for the Copa Libertadores; and if the champions were not either winners or runners-up of the Liguilla, they played off against the Liguilla runners-up for the second place in the Libertadores.
		In 1988 when the format of the Copa Libertadores was changed, the rules changed: the third match was abolished and goal difference was considered; and if both teams tied after the two legs a shootout had to take place; no extra-time, no away goals rule.
