1920 Copa del Rey Final

The 1920 Copa del Rey Final was the 20th final of the Spanish cup competition, the Copa del Rey. The final was played at El Molinón, in Gijón, on May 2, 1920, in front of an attendance of 10,000 spectators.[1] FC Barcelona beat Athletic de Bilbao 2–0 and won their fourth title.[2][3]

The final was attended by a large number of supporters from the basque region, who arrived in Gijon by train. The match was surrounded by controversy due to referee Enrique Bertrán's performance, who annulled a goal by a penalty awarded to Athletic Bilbao, alleging that scorer Germán Echevarría had shot before he gave the order to do it. Nevertheless, the penalty was not kicked for second time, as ruled on the laws of the game. The referee was also criticised for allowing misconduct from both teams.[1]
