Athletic Club won against Atlético Madrid in the final played at San Mamés
Today marks 99 years since the Cup Athletic won against Atlético Madrid at San Mamés. The final started at 4.15 p.m. on May 8, 1921, and our team resolved with a favorable result of 4 goals to 1 at The Cathedral.
The goals scored by Laca and Gómez-Acedo were enough to make useless Triana’s. With that of 1921, Athletic added its 9th Cup.
After eliminating Real Sporting in the quarterfinals, Athletic faced Sevilla FC who prevailed 5-3 in the semifinal tie; however, the Andalusians were disqualified for improper alignment. The final, held in a San Mamés with a great atmosphere, had a clear red-and-white colour.
