Play-off

As Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay finished tied on points, a playoff series was planned for the three teams; however, Uruguay withdrew from the competition to protest the performance of Brazilian referee Pedro Santos in their match against Paraguay.

Therefore, a playoff match was played between Brazil and Paraguay to determine the champion.
