Background
Because São Paulo had won both the 1993 Copa Libertadores and the 1993 Supercopa Sudamericana, CONMEBOL invited Botafogo, winners of the 1993 Copa CONMEBOL, so that the match could be played. Leonardo, Guilherme and Euller scored for São Paulo and Roberto Cavalo scored a penalty for Botafogo. The referee, Juan Escobar Valdez, became the first to take charge of two finals of the competition.
