NB: source for table: site Nacional;
    listed records for bottom 4 clubs are absurd and table does not add up
NB: after 15 rounds, Guaraní had led with 24 points, holding a 4-point
    advantage over both Nacional and Cerro Porteño, but while those two
    won their last 3 matches, Guaraní managed only 1 draw.

Championship Playoff 

First Leg
Nacional       3-0 Cerro Porteño

Second Leg 
Nacional       w/o Cerro Porteño

NB: Cerro Porteño protested against Nacional fielding Arsenio Erico in
    the first match, as Erico had already played for Independiente in
    Argentina; the 'Tribunal de Penas' decided the relevant article in
    the regulations, prohibiting players to play for two clubs during
    the season, only applied if both clubs were Paraguayan and let the
    result stand; thereupon, Cerro Porteño withdrew.

Topscorer: Francisco Sosa (Cerro Porteño) 23 goals
