NOTE 1: This tournament  had an absurd chapter in which the Millionaire participated between August and September 1999. Curiously, due to sponsorship issues, the winners of the 1997 South American titles had not been able to face each other in 1998, but they did share the group in the Mercosur Cup the following year.

This was how River, who had lifted the Super Cup two years earlier, and Cruzeiro, who had also established himself in the Libertadores a couple of seasons ago, settled the Recopa in the same framework in which they played their matches for a minor continental tournament. relevance.

NOTE 2:  Very hunted long sleeve away  jersey for any hard River's collector with superb provenace from a final match. First time ever auctioned.
