The match was played on 23 November 2019 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru,[2][3] between Brazilian team Flamengo and the defending champions, River Plate from Argentina. This was the first Copa Libertadores final to be played as a single match at a neutral venue chosen in advance, replacing the previous home-and-away format.
Flamengo won the match 2–1, securing their second tournament title. As champions, they qualified as the CONMEBOL representative at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2020 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores group stage.[4]
