The finals were contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Argentine team Huracán and Colombian team Santa Fe. The first leg was hosted by Huracán at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Buenos Aires on 2 December 2015, while the second leg was hosted by Santa Fe at Estadio El Campín in Bogotá on 9 December.[1] The winner qualified for the 2016 Copa Libertadores, and earned the right to play against the 2015 Copa Libertadores winners in the 2016 Recopa Sudamericana, and against the 2015 J. League Cup winners in the 2016 Suruga Bank Championship.[2]
As both the first leg[3] and the second leg[4] were tied 0–0, the champion was decided by penalty shoot-out in which Santa Fe won 3–1, winning the tournament for the first time in their history.
