  • The first leg match between Olimpia and Cobreloa played in Calama was suspended at the end of the first half due to crowd interference; an object was thrown at the referee and sustained an injury. At half-time the result was 1–1, but CONMEBOL awarded Olimpia a 2–0 victory and closed Cobreloa's stadium for a period of time.
