Played between the four winners of the South American Super Cup, itself a 16-team tournament for winners of the Copa Libertadores it was played just this once in Velez Sarsfield Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Boca Juniors, made famous as the team which brought Diego Maradona to the World, won the Tournament, triumphing 2-1 in the Final versus Brazil’s Cruzeiro from Belo Horizonte having already defeated Paraguay’s Olimpia 1-0 in the Semi-Finals.
