## 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.
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).
On the other hand, General Paz Juniors defeated Sarmiento de Catamarca 6–0 (a.e.t.), Nacional Vélez Sársfield Pacífico of Mendoza (9–6, also a.e.t.: the match had ended 5–5 on 90' and 6–6 on 120' so a new extra time of 30' were played, where General Paz scored 3 goals else), Newell's Old Boys (3–2), and San Martín de Tucumán (5–4 a.e.t.). The team scored a total of 23 goals (5,75 p.g.) in only four matches played.
The final was scheduled to play at the former Chacarita Juniors venue in Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires (where San Lorenzo had already played their home games during all the competition), on 21 December.
