The 1960 Copa de Campeones finals was a
San Lorenzo to reach the finals with the weight of having played five matches.[1]
Juan Vicente Lezcano became the first player to be sent off in the finals when he was given his marching order on the first leg. The final was effectively decided by a late equalizer in the second leg, scored six minutes from full-time by Alberto Spencer, in a volatile and highly charged game in Asunción
. The Manyas became the first-ever winners of South America's premier club tournament.

The final were played over two legs; home and away. The team that accumulated the most points —two for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs would be crowned the champion. Should the two teams be tied on points after the second leg, the team with the best goal difference would win. If the two teams had equal goal difference, a playoff match at a neutral venue would be contested.
