Boca Juniors earned their spot in the championship game by going undefeated through out the regular season.

Elite took advantage of their one year age difference to muscle their way past the Boca Juniors defense. Elite shoot eight times on goalkeeper Matthew Labrador in the first half, who saved four one verse one goal opportunities to deny Elite of a prestigious victor and to keep Boca Juniors in contention. Elite won the first half with a goal in the 12th minute.
However Boca Juniors was able to make a comeback after number 8 Thiago Flamengo shot from distance was blocked by the hand of an Elite defender inside the penalty area. The teams number 10 playmaker, Gerdado Valenzuela converted the penalty kick, equalizing the score at 1-1. The comeback was completed two minutes before the final whistle was blown by the referee, when number 7 Fernando Valenzuela sent a through ball to number 9 Marqinho, who sharply hit the ball passed the diving goalkeeper, into the side netting of the goal.
The team is head coached by Marcos Fernandes. Coach Marcos commented after the game, "The boys pulled off a great comeback. The parents of the players show great commitment to the club, coaching staff, teammates, and players. This was a great way to the players to pay them back. No matter what the score was, we played the toque toque (touch touch) style. We stuck to it and played our game throughout the game, that why we pulled of an amazing comeback. I am proud of everyone."
