The 2019 Copa Sudamericana final stages were played from 9 July to 9 November 2019.[1] A total of 16 teams competed in the final stages to decide the champions of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana,[2] with the final played in Asunción, Paraguay at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas.[3]
The 16 winners of the second stage advanced to the round of 16.
Seeding[]
Starting from the round of 16, the teams were seeded according to the second stage draw, with each team assigned a "seed" 1–16 corresponding to the tie they won (O1–O16) (Regulations Article 22.c).[2]
In the round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg (Regulations Article 22.d). If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was used. If still tied, extra time was not played, and a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 27).
The final was played as a single match at a venue pre-selected by CONMEBOL, with the higher-seeded team designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes (Regulations Article 25). If tied after regulation, 30 minutes of extra time were played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 28).
