2010 Recopa Sudamericana
The 2010 Recopa Sudamericana de Clubes was a two-legged tie that determined the winner of the Recopa Sudamericana, an annual football match between the winners of the previous season's Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana competitions. It was contested between Argentine club Estudiantes de La Plata and LDU Quito from Ecuador. The first leg was played on August 25 in Quito, while the second leg was played in Quilmes due to Estadio Ciudad de La Plata was undergoing renovations.

2010 Recopa Sudamericana
As a curious fact, in June 2020 Estudiantes de La Plata filled a claim with Conmebol, requesting to be crowned champion of the 2010 edition. In the complaint, Estudiantes alleged that LDU player Gonzalo Chila should have not been registered to play the final, as he had falsified his identity document. Nevertheless, Conmebol did not take the claim into account and LDU was confirmed as champion.


2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Rules
The Recopa Sudamericana was played over two legs; home and away. The team that qualified via the Copa Libertadores plays the second leg at home. The team that accumulates the most points —three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs is crowned the champion. The away-goals rule is not used. Should the two teams be tied on points after regulation of the second leg, the team with the best goal difference wins. If the two teams have equal goal difference, extra time is used. The extra time consists of two 15-minute halves. If the tie is still not broken, a penalty shoot-out ensues according to the Laws of the Game.


2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Background
Estudiantes qualified to the Recopa Sudamericana by winning the 2009 Copa Libertadores. It was their fourth Copa Libertadores title and first in 39 years, which they achieved by defeating Brazilian club Cruzeiro 4–1 on points. Liga de Quito are the reigning title holders of the competition, having won the 2009 edition of this competition after beating Internacional on both legs of the Recopa, their first title of the competition. The club earned the right to defend the trophy after winning the 2009 Copa Sudamericana, beating Fluminense in a rematch of the 2008 Copa Libertadores Finals (which LDU Quito also won). The victory was the club's first ever title in the competition and third international title ever (as well as their nation's).


2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Background
Prior to the 2010 Recopa, Estudiantes and LDU Quito had previously met two times in South American competition. The first meeting between the two sides took place in the Round of 16 of the 2008 Copa Libertadores; LDU Quito won the first match 2–0 at the Estadio Casa Blanca in Quito, and lost 2–1 at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata. Luis Bolaños's 25th-minute goal in the second match gave LDU Quito a favorable goal difference, which eliminated Estudiantes. LDU Quito subsequently went on to win the competition. Estudiantes are entering the Recopa for their first time ever.


2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Background
They are the seventh Argentine club to dispute this title; the first to do so was Racing in 1989.

They are the only side from Ecuador to participate in the Recopa Sudamericana.

2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Venues
On the other hand, Estadio Centenario Dr. José Luis Meiszner hosted the second leg. Ñocated in the Quilmes district and property of Quilmes Atlético Club, it was built in 1995 to commemorate the club's centenary in 1997 (which is also why the stadium bears the name "Centenario"). It underwent a renovation in 1998 to increase its capacity. With the 2010 Recopa final, Estadio Centenario hosted an international final series match for the first time.


2010 Recopa Sudamericana, Officials
