SAN PIETRO COME OUT ON TOP IN THE VATICAN

San Pietro have won the 2013-14 Vatican league championship thanks to their winning the championship final on 7/4/14, but it was a close-run thing, as they defeated debutants Santos 5:4 on penalties after normal time ended scoreless. It was, almost unbelievably, the only no-score draw throughout the entire season. San Pietro had finished in fourth place in the 2012-13 regular season.

Santos qualified for the final after drawing 3:3 on aggregate against Musei Vaticani; under UEFA rules, Musei Vaticani would have qualified on the away-goals rule as they had not only won their away match - both teams had won their designated away match, but had scored more goals in their victory than had Santos in theirs. Therefore, Santos' qualification can only have come about because of their finishing higher in the end-of-regular-season league table than Musei Vaticani.

San Pietro's qualification was much more straightforward; they defeated Associazione SS Pietro e Paolo by 8:5 over two legs. Eight teams took part in the 2013-14 league season; those not taking part this season were Borgorosso and Tipografia Vaticana.
