Championship playoff

edit

Everton and Unión Española ended up tied in points at the end of the 22 weeks of regular season. Tournament rules establish that, unlike any other position on the table, if two or more teams are equal in points at the end of play, goal difference does not count and a playoff game is required. Everton won that match and was crowned as champion.
