Format※
The finals were played over two legs; home and "away." The team that accumulates the most points —two for a win, "one for a draw," zero for a loss— after the "two legs would be," crowned the champion. If the two teams were tied on points after the second leg, "a playoff in a neutral venue would become the next tie-breaker." Goal difference was going——to be used as a last resort.
