Overview
Twelve teams took part of the competition, 8 from Argentina and 4 from Uruguay, after Flores and Montevideo Wanderers desisted to participate.[4]
In quarter finals, Rosario A.C. had beaten Rosario Central 2–0 (E.C. Jewell, Wells) in Plaza Jewell. The club then thrashed Barracas A.C. (that had previously eliminated Alumni) 5–3, also in Plaza Jewell. Rosario A.C. was losing the match 2–3 with only 19 minutes remaining to play. Uruguayan footballers Gaudencio Pigni and brothers Carlos and Bolívar Céspedes (that had escaped from their country due to the Civil War) played for Barracas A.C.[2]
On the other hand, CURCC had become finalist after beating Albion (4–0), Nacional (2–1) and Lomas (4–1) on successive stages.[4]
This final was the last relevant match played at Flores Ground, a field that could not host a large number of spectators due to its poor infrastructure. Because of that (and the cold weather) only 1,200 persons attended the match.
Rosario scored the first goal in the 10th minute when Le Bas shot to the CURCC's goal after a pass by Parr. In the second half, Camacho ran to the goal, being fouled by Wells when he was about to shoot. Pena converted the penalty kick to goal for the 1–1 tie, which would be the final score within the 90 minutes.
An extra time of 30' had to be played to crown a champion. In the 5th minute, Wells scored the 2nd goal for Rosario. The rest of the match saw Rosario shooting to CURCC goal but their kicks were stopped by Uruguayan goalkeeper Villalba. With only 5 minutes remaining, Alberto Le Bas scored the 3rd goal for the local squad. Three minutes later, Aniceto Camacho scored the 2nd for CURCC for the definitive 3–2 result.
This achievement contributed to consolidate Rosario Athletic as the strongest team of Rosario, being the first team from the city to win an international competition.[2] Nevertheless, the club would abandon the practise of football in the 1910s, focusing on rugby union and field hockey.
