Pachuca became the first Mexican club to win a major South American trophy, defeating Colo Colo of Chile (2-1) in the 2nd Leg in Chile.

Having managed a (1-1) tie on the road in Mexico, Cola Cola went home with a chance to pull off the big time. In Mexico, Pachuca went ahead in the 2nd half after a nice offensive build-up ended with a cross from the left that was headed in at the back post by a white-ninja, Pachuca striker.

Colo Colo, however, bullrushed back to life with a powerful dribble that lead in the bald-headed striker, Suazo to fire home from close range. Late in the game, Pachuca showed life again, producing a corner and then went postal from about 30 meters.

With everthing to play for in Chile, Colo Colo came out and took the lead in the 1st half through Suazo, who struck again for the home side. Yet, Colo Colo could not undo the white-ninjas of Pachuca as the Mexican club made history when Caballero and Gimenez did the honors for the modest Mexicans and brought the trophy home.
