Overview
Porteño earned its place in the final as the winner of 1918 Copa de Competencia Jockey Club, after beating Gimnasia y Esgrima (4â0), Almagro (4â2), Estudiantes de Buenos Aires (2â0), Ferro Carril Oeste (4â1) Tiro Federal (2â1 in the semifinal) and River Plate (2â1 in the final). As a curious fact, Porteño played all its matches in Palermo.[3]
There were no goals in the first half. On 52 minutes, Pérez, in offside position, made a pass that Buffoni connected to the first goal. Four minutes later, Pérez again sent a pass that was weakily rebounded by Arrieta, allowing Landeira to score the second goal for Wanderers. The only goal of Porteño was scored by Uslenghi by a penalty kick awarded after both backs of Wanderers fouled Clark.
With that result, Wanderers crowned champion, achieving its third Tie Cup trophy.[2]
