Championship Playoff
1st leg Herediano 2-0 Cartaginés
NB: Herediano, winners of the regular championship, and Cartaginés, who
won the final round, were due to decide the title in Costa Rica, but
the first leg went to the law courts and the second was suspended just
before the half-time. Herediano won the first leg 2-0 but Cartaginés
claimed that the penalty with which they scored one of the goal was not
valid. The foul was outside the area, and they had a TV-film to prove
it. They handed the film to their lawyers to go to court, and sent a
copy and fax to FIFA to get their opinion. Everything would have been
settled if Herediano had got at least a draw in the second leg, but
after 44 minutes a fan broke on the field and was manhandled by police,
who where then stoned by spectators.
Herediano is champion 1992/93 after FA-decisions.
