While Corinthians progressed to the knockout stages by finishing top of their group, Boca progressed to the knockout stages by finishing runners-up of their group. Boca then beat Uni\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola, Fluminense and Universidad de Chile to reach the finals, while Corinthians knocked out Emelec, Vasco da Gama and defending champions Santos.In the first leg of the final on 27 June at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando (La Bombonera), Boca Juniors took the lead with a goal from Facundo Roncaglia after 73 minutes when he drove the ball high into the net.[1][2] Corinthians equalised in the 85th minute when Romarinho lobbed the ball over fallen Boca Juniors goalkeeper Agust\u00edn Ori\u00f3n with the game finishing at 1\u20131.[3][4][5]In the second leg of the final on 4 July at the Est\u00e1dio Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvalho (Pacaembu), Emerson Sheik scored two second half goals to give Corinthians a 2\u20130 win.[6][7][8][9]As a result, Corinthians won their first Copa Libertadores, and finished the tournament undefeated. As winners, Corinthians represented CONMEBOL at the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup, in which they entered at the semifinal stage[10][11]  and made it to the final, where they defeated Chelsea 1\u20130. They are also playing against 2012 Copa Sudamericana winners S\u00e3o Paulo in the 2013 Recopa Sudamericana.Table of ContentsQualified teams[edit]Background[edit]Road to finals[edit]Matches[edit]First leg[edit]Second leg[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Qualified teams[edit]Background[edit]To reach the finals, in the knockout phase Boca defeated Uni\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola, Fluminense, and Universidad de Chile (2\u20130 on aggregate score), while Corinthians overcame Emelec, Vasco da Gama, and the defending champions Santos (2\u20131 on aggregate).Boca and Corinthians reached the final having already lost out in their domestic and state leagues respectively (the Torneo Clausura de la Primera Divisi\u00f3n and Paulist\u00e3o respectively). But Boca having also reached the final of their domestic cup competition (the Copa Argentina), that will play against Racing on August 8 (in other words, after these finals). Meanwhile, Corinthians (that, like the others Brazilians teams in this Libertadores, didn’t play their domestic cup \u2013 Copa do Brasil \u2013 because of schedule conflicts) reached the final occupying 17th place of their domestic league (the Brasileir\u00e3o).In their most recent Libertadores finals, Boca won in 2007 to Gr\u00eamio 5\u20130 (3\u20130 in Buenos Aires, 2\u20130 in Porto Alegre). While Corinthians had never played a Libertadores\/Copa de Campeones finals before, Boca have played in nine Libertadores\/Copa de Campeones finals, winning six (1977, 1978, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2007) and losing three (1963, 1979 and 2004). The two clubs have met each other twice in Americas before, with Boca winning 4\u20132 on aggregate in the round of 16 of the 1991 Copa Libertadores, and in the group stage of the 2000 Copa Mercosur, with Boca victory 3\u20130 in Buenos Aires, and a 2\u20132 draw in S\u00e3o Paulo (as Boca progressed in the competition \u2013 would be later eliminated by Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro in quarter-finals -, Corinthians was eliminated in this stage).Road to finals[edit]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 \u2014three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss\u2014 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.[12]Matches[edit]First leg[edit]Second leg[edit]Copa Libertadores de Am\u00e9rica2012 ChampionCorinthiansFirst TitleSee also[edit]References[edit]^ “Corinthians earn draw at Boca Juniors”.
