International football competition
The 1996 Copa de Oro was the third and last Copa de Oro , a football competition for the reigning champions of CONMEBOL's Copa Libertadores , the Supercopa Libertadores , the Copa CONMEBOL , and the Copa Master de CONMEBOL ; the latter competition replaced the berth taken by the winners of the Copa Master de Supercopa . It took place in Manaus , Brazil from August 13 to August 16.[ 1]
It was the first and only time the competition was hosted by a single nation and all the matches were played at the Vivaldão . The competition was contested by Grêmio , winners of the 1995 Copa Libertadores , Flamengo , runners-up of the 1995 Supercopa Libertadores , Rosario Central , winners of the 1995 Copa CONMEBOL , and São Paulo , winners of the 1996 Copa Master de Conmebol . Independiente , winners of the previous Supercopa Libertadores , declined to participate as they had in 1995.
In the semifinals, Flamengo defeated Rosario Central 2-1, while São Paulo dispatched Grêmio by the same score. In the final, Flamengo beat São Paulo by 3-1 and won the last Copa de Oro title.
