The 2006 Copa Sudamericana Finals was a two-leggedfootball contest, played in November and December 2006, to determine the champion of the 2006 Copa Sudamericana. The teams taking part were Chilean side Colo-Colo, and Mexican side Pachuca. The first leg, played in Pachuca, resulted in a 1–1 draw. The second leg, in Santiago, was won 2–1 by Pachuca, making them the cup winners for that year.[1]
Despite being from Mexico–– which is a member nation of CONCACAF and not CONMEBOL–– Pachuca were eligible to compete in this tournament after winning the 2006 Clausura, earning them an invite from CONMEBOL and receiving an automatic berth directly to the knockout stages. Pachuca's victory in the final marked the first time in history that a representative of CONCACAF had won a CONMEBOL-sanctioned tournament.
