2010 Copa Libertadores Finals
The 2010 Copa Libertadores de América Finals was the final two-legged series that determined the 2010 Copa Libertadores de América champion. It was contested between Mexican club Guadalajara and Brazilian club Internacional. The first leg was played on 11 August in Guadalajara's home field, while the second leg was played in Internacional's. Guadalajara was playing in their first finals and is the second Mexican team to reach this stage of the Copa Libertadores. Internacional was making their third finals appearance, having finished 2nd in 1980 and winning it in 2006. To go along with the international press that normally accompanies the finals of this competition, football legend Pelé, two-times winner of the Copa Libertadores in 1962 and 1963 with Santos, handed the trophy to the winner. The Colorados won their second title of the tournament, beating Guadalajara 6–0 on points. The refereeing team came from Colombia and Argentina, being represented by Héctor Baldassi and Óscar Ruiz, respectively. Internacional, as the champions, played the winners of the 2010 Copa Sudamericana in the 2011 Recopa Sudamericana.
