In the main round, Chapecoense first faced Independiente of Argentina and advanced to the quarter-finals after two goalless draws and a penalty shoot-out win.
In the quarterfinals, the Brazilian team beat the Colombian Junior (0:1, 3:0), and then in the semifinals, due to a goal in a foreign field, they were stronger than the Argentinean San Lorenzo (1:1, 0:0).
