Format
editThe finals was played over two legs; home and away. The team that accumulated the most points —two for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs was crowned champion. If the two teams were tied on points after the second leg, a playoff at a neutral was to be the tie-breaker. Goal difference was to be used as a last resort to crown a champion.
