Format※
The 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 in a neutral would become the next tie-breaker." Goal difference was used as a last resort.
