NB: it is not clear why the two group winners (and the two runners-up) met in
the semifinals, as originally the winners of one group were to have played
the runners-up of the other; possibly the set-up was changed such that the
two traditional rivals Olimpia and Cerro Porte�o might meet in the final.
