SAO PAULO (AP) — Santos says it will auction commemorative medals celebrating Pele’s goals against Penarol in the 1962 Copa Libertadores final.
The announcement came Tuesday, a day before the final featuring two successful South American clubs. The teams drew 0-0 in last week’s first leg at Penarol in Uruguay.
Santos says the medals will be sold at price beginning of $3,250. The proceeds will go to charity.
Pele scored both goals in the final that gave Santos its first title in Latin America’s most important club competition. Pele led Santos to its second title the following year, and the Brazilian club can clinch its third on Wednesday at Pacaembu stadium.
