[3] Twelve teams took part of the competition, 8 from Argentina and 4 from Uruguay, after Flores and Montevideo Wanderers desisted to participate.

Uruguayan footballers Gaudencio Pigni and brothers Carlos and Bolívar Céspedes (that had escaped from their country due to the Civil War) played for Barracas A.C.[2] On the other hand, CURCC had become finalist after beating Albion (4–0), Nacional (2–1) and Lomas (4–1) on successive stages.

[4] This final was the last relevant match played at Flores Ground, a field that could not host a large number of spectators due to its poor infrastructure.

The rest of the match saw Rosario shooting to CURCC goal but their kicks were stopped by Uruguayan goalkeeper Villalba.

With only 5 minutes remaining, Alberto Le Bas scored the 3rd goal for the local squad.
