River Plate contested the match as the winner of "Copa de Oro", a cup that decided which team would participate in the final so the 1936 Argentine Primera División season had crowned two champions, River Plate and San Lorenzo. After River beat San Lorenzo 3–1, the team was eligible to play the 1936 edition of Copa Aldao.[3]

The match was played at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, where River Plate achieved a conclussive victory of 5–1 over Peñarol, winning its first Copa Aldao Trophy.[4]

Notes
  1. As the 1936 season had crowned two champions –River Plate (Copa Campeonato) and San Lorenzo (Copa de Honor)–, both teams played a final named "Copa de Oro", won by River Plate, which was mentioned as "Argentine champion" on the AFA Annual Report of that year.[5][6] Nevertheless, some historians state this cup was only established to qualify an Argentine representative to play the Copa Aldao against the Uruguayan champion, with some issues still under discussion.[6]
