*Originally 4-3, match annulled due to the intervention of the non-football authority that decreed
the ejection of Asturias' player José Soto before the start of the second half; on January 2 and 9,
the annulment of the result and the repetition of the match was determined, which did not happen because
there were no available dates and because it no longer affected the outcome of the tournament.
Tournament interrumpted due to visit of Vélez Sarsfield (Argentina) from Jan. 1 to Feb. 11, 1940.
