National title play-off
First leg
Second leg
After the first leg, Cerro Porteño protested against Nacional for playing Arsenio Erico in the match due to the player having already featured for Argentinian club Independiente during the season. The Disciplinary Committee deemed it only an offence if both clubs were Paraguayan which led to Cerro Porteño's withdrawal from the play-off.[1]
