The first leg was played at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot, Medellín, on 3 December 2014 and the second leg was played on 10 December 2014 at the Estadio Monumental, Buenos Aires.

Nacional 1-1 River Plate (3 de Dic., 2014) Análisis del partido - ESPN (AR) https://www.espn.com.ar/futbol/reporte/_/juegoId/409917 2026-01-19 ESPN es Shortly after, Cardona filtered a deep pass looking for Orlando Berrío. The winger ran down the right flank and unleashed a powerful shot to leave Barovero responseless and put his team ahead. Atlético Nacional made their first substitution a minute later, when Alejandro Guerra replaced injured midfielder Alejandro Bernal. The home side had two more opportunities to extend their lead before the interval. In the 38th minute of play, Barovero denied another effort from Berrío after he broke down his flank once again. Three minutes later, Copete received the ball on the left side, but he was unable to control it and the goalkeeper got ahold of it. Early in the second half, River Plate had two chances at an equaliser. Just a minute from the restart, Gutiérrez sent a cross over to Carlos Sánchez, who slipped into the box and managed a left-footed shot which Franco Armani caught. Minutes later, a Leonardo Pisculichi free kick forced the goalkeeper to dive for a save. The visitors pushed their lines forward, looking to exert pressure and gain possession. In contrast, Atlético Nacional seemed in a tired state, stemming from the intensity they displayed earlier in the match. As the home side lacked ball control, manager Juan Carlos Osorio subbed off Copete for Sebastián Pérez. The change almost yielded them a second goal in the 62nd minute, after Berrío crossed for the midfielder, who rattled the crossbar with a header. Nonetheless, the visitors would tie the game three minutes later, when Pisculichi received a Gutiérrez pass and took a shot from afar that beat Armani, making it 1–1. Following the goal, both teams had chances to unlevel the score through set pieces. At the 69-minute mark, Atlético Nacional nearly retook the lead off a corner. River Plate replied with a Pisculichi free kick, which was sent over to Ramiro Funes Mori, whose effort was also barely off the mark. Content with the result, coach Marcelo Gallardo set in motion a 4–4–2 formation when he switched Pisculichi for Matías Kranevitter. Their aim was to hold on to the draw, while being able to exploit any counter-attacking opportunities that arose. They came close to a victory through a volley from subbed-in forward Fernando Cavenaghi, but his shot went over the woodwork, and the score remained.

Atlético Nacional's Juan Carlos Osorio arranged a 3–4–1–2 formation, looking to create pressure. In turn, the home side started to assert their dominance by issuing an early warning, following a free kick from Leonardo Pisculichi that Franco Armani successfully plunged away. Edwin Cardona responded for the visitors with a set piece of his own, sending the ball over the bar in the seventh minute. Shortly after, River Plate replicated the same play from earlier, as another free kick was cleared away by the Armani. The rebound fell to Carlos Sánchez, who forced the goalkeeper into a save with a volley. At the 11-minute mark, Leonel Vangioni crossed for Teófilo Gutiérrez after a one-two passing play with Rodrigo Mora. The Colombian striker connected, but his header went high. Four minutes later, Armani was tested once again when Sánchez found Gutiérrez, who attempted a far post shot to which the keeper responded well. River Plate continued to be in control of the match, having three further chances in the span of four minutes which they were unable to convert. In the 27th minute, a header from Gutiérrez was saved by Armani following a delivery from Mora. At the half-hour mark, Pisculichi filtered a pass for the Colombian striker, who eludded his marker Francisco Nájera and unveiled a weak effort that was also denied. Just a minute later, he entered the penalty area and took another shot which was stopped for a third time by the Argentine goalkeeper.Clarín Redacción 2014-12-11 River pegó dos gritos a tiempo y es campeón de la Sudamericana https://www.clarin.com/river-plate/river-atletico_nacional-copa_sudamericana_0_HJ8mU_DqD7e.html 2026-01-20 Clarín es thumb|Gabriel Mercado scored the opening goal of the match. Atlético Nacional's gameplan was to permanently look for Alexander Mejía or Cardona, who were to dictate their plays. Their teammates were mostly unable to find them, however, which prompted their opposition to rapidly retake ball control. They eventually managed to fend off the River Plate high pressure, and created an opportunity in the 32nd minute when Luis Carlos Ruiz shot just wide from outside the box. The forward later followed up on this breakthrough by sending a dangerous cross that Marcelo Barovero barely managed to intercept. The visitors linked up a third consecutive prospect when Orlando Berrío laid off a pass to Cardona, who found himself in front of Barovero and took a shot that the goalkeeper deflected for a corner. Nonetheless, the last chance of the half fell to the home side. After a defensive clearance, Mora got rid of his marker and set Gutiérrez up one-on-one with Armani. However, the Colombian striker lingered to take control of the ball, and ultimately squandered the opportunity. Atlético Nacional had the first approach in the second half with a free kick that Juan Valencia sent into Barovero. River Plate had a quiet start, but would take the lead 55 minutes in.River Plate 2-0 Atl.
