Overview

The cup was contested by 35 teams, contested by Primera División clubs and the best qualified teams from regional leagues. Teams were divided into four groups (by province), playing each other in a single round-robin tournament.[1][2]

San Lorenzo's campaign included victories over River Plate (4–2), Estudiantes de La Plata (3–2), Puerto Comercial of Ingeniero White (4–1), and arch-rival Huracán (2–2 (a.e.t.) so a playoff had to be scheduled; San Lorenzo won 2–1).[3]
