Background
Atlético Paranaense played their home leg in Porto Alegre because their own ground, the Arena da Baixada, did not meet CONMEBOL's minimum capacity for a final. Aloísio scored for Atlético in the first leg and an own goal by Durval drew São Paulo level. In the second leg Amoroso, Fabão, Luizão and Tardelli scored in front of 71,986 at the Morumbi. São Paulo became the first Brazilian club to win the Copa Libertadores three times, and the title earned them a place at the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship.
