The 2017 Copa Sudamericana finals were the two-legged final that decides the winner of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, the 16th edition of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's secondary international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The finals were contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Argentinian team Independiente and Brazilian team Flamengo. The first leg was hosted by Independiente at Estadio Libertadores de América in Avellaneda on 6 December 2017, while the second leg was hosted by Flamengo at Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on 13 December 2017.[1]

Independiente defeated Flamengo 3–2 on aggregate to win their second Copa Sudamericana title. As champions, Independiente earned the right to play against the winners of the 2017 Copa Libertadores in the 2018 Recopa Sudamericana, and the winners of the 2017 J.League Cup in the 2018 Suruga Bank Championship.[2] They also automatically qualified for the 2018 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Format

The finals were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would not be used, and 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.[2] If extra time was played, a fourth substitution would be allowed.

Matches

Paolo Guerrero (Flamengo), provisionally suspended for failing doping test, missed the first leg.[3] On 7 December 2017, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided to suspend Guerrero for one year, missing the second leg.[4] After the finals, FIFA Appeal Committee reduced the sanction to a six-month suspension.[5]

First leg

Flamengo scored after eight minutes when Réver headed a free kick from Trauco. Independiente equalized through Emmanuel Gigliotti, who combined with Benitez and finished a counter attack. Seven minutes after halftime, Barco crossed from the left side and Maximiliano Meza scored the winning goal with a right-footed volley.[6]
