Final (Nov 25 - San Carlos)

           Jorge Franco. Coach: Ruben Fernández 

booked: Morales; Servín, Cabañas, Bordón 
sent off: Bordón (22), Cabañas (23) 
referees: Luis Alvarez, Florentino Fernández, Ruben Rossi (Uruguay) 
attendance: 2.600 

x  The match was suspended at 22 when Ita Ybaté tried to abandon the field due to disagreeing 
   with referee's decision to expulse Bordón. However, the organizers convinced the Paraguayans 
   to stay, but the goal-keeper Cabañas insulted the referee and was sent off. This led to 
   another attempt by the visitors to quit the match, and the referee finished it. Again the 
   Paraguayans' decision was modified, but it was too late, the referee had already decided 
   that neither he nor his assistants would continue the game. Libertad were the champions, but 
   not because of the Paraguayan team pityful behaviour, but because it was the best team of 
   the tournament. 

Topscorers: 
Alberto Tintel (ITA YBATÉ)           6 goals 
Federico Ferrer (ALUMNI)             4 goals
