2011 Copa Sudamericana finals

The 2011 Copa Sudamericana finals were the final two-legged tie that decided the winner of the 2011 Copa Sudamericana, the 10th edition of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's secondary international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The matches were played on 8 and 14 December 2011 between Chilean club Universidad de Chile and Ecuadorian club LDU Quito.

Universidad de Chile won the first leg 1–0 and the second leg 3–0, and won their first Copa Sudamericana and also their first international trophy. As the winner, they earned the right to play in the 2012 Recopa Sudamericana against the winner of the 2011 Copa Libertadores, and the 2012 Suruga Bank Championship against the winner of the 2011 J. League Cup, Kashima Antlers.

Rules
The final is played over two legs; home and away. The higher seeded team plays the second leg at home. The team that accumulates the most points —three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs is crowned the champion. Should the two teams be tied on points after the second leg, the team with the best goal difference wins. If the two teams have equal goal difference, the away goals rule is not applied, unlike the rest of the tournament. Extra time is played, which consists of two 15-minute halves. If the tie is still not broken, a penalty shootout ensues according to the Laws of the Game.
