Copa Libertadores 1960
Encyclopedia
The 1960 Copa de Campeones de América was the first staging of the Copa de Campeones, usually known in the modern era as the Copa Libertadores, CONMEBOL
's premier club tournament. Seven association's clubs entered the first competition, with three not sending a representative. The first match of the tournament was played between Uruguayan side Peñarol
and Bolivian side Jorge Wilstermann
on April 19 in Montevideo
, Uruguay
.
During that game, Ausberto García of Jorge Wilstermann became the first player to move the ball in the tournament setting the motions for what is to become one of the most prestigious competitions in the world. Carlos Borges
of Peñarol scored the first goal of the tournament, with fellow teammate and legendary figure Alberto Spencer
scoring the first hat-trick
.
Peñarol
would go to become the first South American club champion after defeating the Olimpia in the finals. With the subsequent results on later editions, Peñarol became the most successful club in the competition until 1973.
, the governing body of the sport in South America, had been formed in 1916, but for the first forty-three years of its existence, its member associations played only friendly matches
against each other, with no prizes at stake. In 1958, however, José Ramos de Freitas, the confederation's president, finally set into motion a competition open to all national champions of the continent, with a trophy to be awarded to the winners. The South American Championship of Champions was the inspiration for the idea to take fruit and formation. Although all national association's champions were eligible to participate, only seven chose to do so: Bahia
of Brazil
, Jorge Wilstermann
of Bolivia
, Millonarios of Colombia
, Olimpia of Paraguay
, Peñarol of Uruguay
, San Lorenzo
of Argentina
and Universidad de Chile of Chile
. Peru
and Venezuela
did not send their respective national league champions since the tournament received general lack of interest from its associations, and Ecuador
did not have a national champion to send. The first edition of the Copa de Campeones aroused no great accompaniment to the press particularly in Pacific Rim countries and in Brazil and Argentina.
would be implemented in case the teams are still tied. A draw of lots was to become the last solution to breaking a tie.
and thus reached the semi-finals without having played a match in the competition (their predetermined opponents, Universitario
of Peru, did not confirm their participation). The series between San Lorenzo
and Bahia
finished in a draw on points and the group was decided on goal difference in which the Argentines were allowed through to the semi-finals. Peñarol
and Millonarios completed the semi-final line-up after convincing victories over Jorge Wilstermann
and Universidad de Chile, respectively.
There was much publicity in Montevideo
as the Bolivian champions Jorge Wilstermann arrived four days ahead of the historic, first ever match of the competition. Unlike what was happening in the five other countries of the competitors, the tournament was receiving a lot of coverage from the Uruguayan media. The President of the Bolivian Football Federation, Valera Cámara, arrived in Montevideo nine days before the game to prepare all the details for the stay of the football champion of his country. He also used the occasion to promote the Campeonato Sudamericano
that Bolivia was going to organize in 1961 (eventually held in 1963) and to confirmed the matches Bolivia was going to play against Uruguay for the qualifers of the 1962 FIFA World Cup
to be held in Chile
. Pablo Pérez Estrada, president of Jorge Wilstermann, arrived on April 13.
The 1972 edition of the Journal Estadio de Chile mentioned that the humiliating elimination of Universidad de Chile was attributed to the exhaustion of the team. Estadio mentions that by that time the interest of the La U executives was to take the Chilean champion for an extensive tour to Europe that was extended, on their return, with some more friendly matches in Central America
. The Chilean press, highly critical by the 0-6 thrashing in Santiago, labeled Universidad de Chile as a "team of tourists" and even gave them an alluding cartoon.
