2012 Recopa Sudamericana

Rules

The Recopa Sudamericana was played over two legs; home and away. The team that qualified via the Copa Libertadores played the second leg at home. The team that accumulated the most points —three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs was crowned the champion. In case of the two teams tied on points after the second leg, the team with the best goal difference won. If the two teams had equal goal difference, the away goals rule was not applied. Extra time was played, which consisted of two 15-minute halves. If the tie was still not broken, a penalty shootout ensued according to the Laws of the Game.
