1980 Copa Libertadores finals


The 1980 Copa Libertadores de América finals was the final two-legged tie to determine the Copa Libertadores de América champion. It was contested by Uruguayan club [Club Club Nacional de Football|Nacional de Football|Nacional] and Brazilian club Internacional. The first leg of the tie was played on 30 July at Estádio Beira-Rio of Porto Alegre, with the second leg played on 6 August at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
For the first time in 18 years, a club from Argentina did not play in the Copa Libertadores final.
With the first game tied 0–0, Nacional were crowned champion after winning the second leg 1–0 with a goal by striker Waldemar Victorino, achieving their second Copa Libertadores title. Victorino was also the top scorer of the edition with 6 goals.

Format

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.
