Overview
This edition was contested by 6 teams, 4 from Argentina and 2 from Uruguay. Playing in a single-elimination tournament, Belgrano defeated Lomas (4â0 in Quilmes AC), and Uruguayan side CURCC in the semifinal (1â0 at Parque Central, Montevideo).[1]
On the other hand, Rosario only played one match, qualifying for the final after thrashing Belgrano 6â2 at Plaza Jewell.[1]
The final was played at the Lomas Athletic field in Lomas de Zamora, Greater Buenos Aires. The match lead a great expectation from supporters of both clubs, who arrived in a train run for the occasion by British railway company Ferrocarril del Sud.[2] On 8 minutes Alumni's S. Leonard scored the first goal. After that, Rosario persistently attacked but their attempts were blocked by the Alumni backs. Nevertheless, in the second half Rosario forced a 1â1 draw when A. Robinson scored on 60'. As the match ended tied, an 30' extra time was played to determine a winner, but no goal was scored during that time. Therefore, a new extra time (20') was added to decide which team would be champion, with Patricio Dillon scoring the second goal that crowned Alumni as champion, after 140 minutes of play.[2]
