Torneo Hexagonal de Lima 1959 14 January – 6 February 1959 6 15 54 BRA Flamengo 1 URU Peñarol BRA Henrique (4 goals)PER D. Ruiz (4 goals)URU Luis Cubilla (4 goals) The Torneo Hexagonal de Lima, also called Gran Serie Suramericana Inter Clubes by two 2019 sources, was an exhibition football competition hosted in Lima, Peru in 1959. All matches were played at the Estadio Nacional in Lima. Flamengo were the champions. Though two 2019 sources referred to it as "Gran Serie Suramericana Inter Clubes", heretofore no original 1959 mass media source has ever been found referring to the competition as "gran serie sudamericana" or any similar term.La semilla que gestó el bosqueLa vez que Flamengo goleó a River en Lima y se coronó campeón del continente ante Alianza LimaTorneo Hexagonal de Lima 1959 - Match Details Furthermore, among the six renowned participating clubs, only one club was the reigning champions of its respective home league, therefore the competition did not have the format of a "champions cup/league", the format used for cups crowning continental champions, and Jornal dos Sports, then the most relevant sport newspaper of Rio de Janeiro, hometown of winners Flamengo, referred in 1959 to the competition only as an international friendly tournament, without referring to it as "Gran Serie Sudamericana" or any similar term.Jornal dos Sports archive. Ed. 9031. Feb 12th 1959. The same two 2019 sources affirm that the competition was an inspiration for the Copa Libertadores, which is proved incorrect by the fact that the creation of the latter was announced at a UEFA meeting on October 8th 1958, as published by Brazilian and Spanish newspapers the following day,http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1958/10/09/058.html ABC (Madrid) – 09/10/1958, p. 58 – ABC.es Hemeroteca ABC 8 August 2019 Spain 15 August 2016 3 March 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160303191048/http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1958/10/09/058.html livehttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=0qX8s2k1IRwC&dat=19581009&printsec=frontpage&hl=pt-BR Jornal do Brasil – Pesquisa de arquivos de notícias Google 8 October 2016 1 August 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160801204924/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=0qX8s2k1IRwC&dat=19581009&printsec=frontpage&hl=pt-BR livehttp://acervo.estadao.com.br/pagina/#!/19581009-25595-nac-0019-999-19-not/busca/Mundial+Clubes O Estado de S.
