Format[edit]
In the final stages, the 16 teams played a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:
- In the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on points after the two legs the goal difference would be applied. if still tied, extra time was not played, and a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winners.
- In the event that the two Brazilian teams from the group stage qualify for the round of 16, the lower-seeded team between these two would face defending champion Cruzeiro in order to prevent three Brazilian teams from reaching the quarter-finals.
- If two teams from the same national association reached the quarter-finals, they had to face each other, and those teams that had to face them formed another tie under the same conditions.
- If one or more games are settled in the quarterfinals between clubs belonging to the same national association, the Match S1 would correspond to the pair including the lower-seeding team. The following matches would be determined according to the same criteria.
- In all cases in which the order of legs could not be determined, the lower-seeding team had to host the first leg. Defending champions Cruzeiro had to host the second leg in the round of 16.
The above criteria were established to ensure that the four semifinalists would be of different nationalities (Regulations Section III, Article 3).[3]
Bracket[edit]
The original bracket for the final stages was determined as follows:[4]
Round | Matchups | ||
---|---|---|---|
Round of 16 (Second stage) |
(Home team in the first leg are marked with (L))

Quarter-finals | (Home team in the first leg are marked with (L))
| ||
Semi-finals | (Home team in the first leg are marked with (L))
| ||
Finals | (Home team in the first leg are marked with (L))
|
Per regulations, the original bracket had the following modifications:
- In the round of 16, Vasco da Gama and Alianza Lima swapped positions. Vasco da Gama had to faced Cruzeiro in order to avoid three possible Brazilian teams in the quarter-finals.
- In quarter-finals, the two Brazilians teams and the two Argentine teams had to face each other, and the order of the ties was rearranged according to the regulations.
