Copa Bernardo O'Higgins

Copa Bernardo O'Higgins (English: Bernardo O'Higgins Cup) was a national football tournament disputed between Brazil and Chile, from 1955 to 1966.

The competition, played on a two-legged format, was similar to other tournaments played at the time, such as the Roca Cup between Argentina and Brazil.

[1] The cup's name was a tribute to Bernardo O'Higgins, a figure of great importance in Chile's independence,[2][3] and considered one of the liberators of South America during the Spanish occupation in the colonial period.

[4] Pelé and Quarentinha are the all-time top-scorers in the competition with three goals each.

[5][6] Pelé is the only player to have scored a hat-trick in the tournament (1959 first leg at Maracanã in Brazil).

The cup was named as a tribute to Chilean military and politician Bernardo O'Higgins
