The higher seeded team plays the second leg at home. The team that accumulates the most points —three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— 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.http://www.conmebol.com/export/sites/conmebol/Docs/Copa_Libertadores/2012/Reglamento_Libertadores_2012.pdf Copa Santander Libertadores 2012: reglamento del torneo es CONMEBOL dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120324044850/http://www.conmebol.com/export/sites/conmebol/Docs/Copa_Libertadores/2012/Reglamento_Libertadores_2012.pdf March 24, 2012 Matches First leg June 27, 2012 21:50 UTC−3 First leg Boca Juniors ARG 1–1 Report BRA Corinthians Roncaglia 72 Romarinho 84 Estadio Alberto J.
