it is presumed that other points probably have been awarded to São
Lourenço and Alfenense in court battles.

Center-South Zone Finals

Round 1 [Feb 25, 1968]
Guarani    1-1  Alfenense

Round 2 [Feb 27]
Alfenense  0-2  Guarani

Round 3 [Mar 2]
Guarani    0-1  Alfenense  [at Atlético] [0-0 aet]

League rules pointed penalty kicks as a tiebreak if extra time ended in a draw,
but Guarani and Alfenense presidents agreed to flip a coin in a draw instead.
The draw pointed ALFENENSE as the winner of the finals and owner of a spot in
the league finals.
