A last minute goal from Lula sealed the victory, after team-mate China had earlier pulled the Minas Gerais side level from the penalty spot.

Fluminense had taken an early lead, when Michael volleyed home in the first-half, but it was not to be the Tricolor’s night. Fluminense do however finish as the tournaments top-scorers, with forward Marcos Júnior the individual top-scorer with seven goals.

Champions América however can thank their remarkable defensive effort for the tournament win, having conceded just two goals on their way to the title.
