The 1998 Copa CONMEBOL Finals were the final match series to decide the winner of the 1998 Copa CONMEBOL, a continental cup competition organised by CONMEBOL. The final was contested by Argentine club Rosario Central and Brazilian Santos FC.[1]

Played under a two-legged tie system, Santos won the first leg held in Estádio Urbano Caldeira in Santos, São Paulo. As the second leg at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario ended in a 0–0 tie, Santos won 10 on aggregate, achieving their first Cup trophy.[1][2]

The series became infamous for the tough play from both sides, with many players being penalised with yellow cards and even sent off (only in the second leg in Arroyito, the referee showed the yellow card to eight players and sent off two).[3]
