Copa Interamericana 1968 – Cruz Azul vs. Peñarol
The 1968 Copa Interamericana was not played in 1968; it was actually played in 1969. Cruz Azul's berth came from winning the 1968 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, not directly from the league title. Peñarol were not recent Copa Libertadores winners at the time of the tie; their last title was 1966, not 1967 or 1968.
