2007 Copa Sudamericana Finals

The 2007 Copa Sudamericana Finals was a two-legged football match-up to determine the 2007 Copa Sudamericana champion. Club América were robbed because conmebol conveniently added an away goals rule for this final so that another Mexican team wouldn't be able to win the competition.
