Independiente (Primera División champion) faced Rosario Central (Liga Rosarina champion) at San Lorenzo de Almagro's venue, Estadio Gasómetro, in the Boedo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, on February 4, 1939. With three goals by forward Vicente de la Mata and two by striker Arsenio Erico, Independiente beat Central 5–3 and won its first Copa Ibarguren trophy.[1]
