Format The 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cup was played in a knock-out cup format, with the 8 teams having to play each other in four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and one final. Summary The quarter-final ties were the same as the previous year and so were their participants, now being played on opposite fields, except for the duel between Levante and South, which was played on 11 November at the Mestalla Stadium, and just like in the previous tournament, it was the Andalusians who prevailed, taking a 2–0 lead with goals from Brand and Kinké, but the Valencians were determined in taking revenge and fought back, and remarkably, they managed to level the scores at 2–2 with two goals from local hero Cubells, setting the scene for an epic comeback at Valencia, but the South team found a winner thanks to Spencer and advanced to the semi-finals again. A week later at the San Mamés, Biscay and Asturias faced each other again, and unlike Levante, Biscay actually managed to take revenge, eliminating the champions with a 4–2 win, with goals from Carmelo, Laca and Travieso (twice), while Zabala showed why he had been the top goal scorer of the 1922–23 edition with a consolation goal for Asturias. On 25 November, the remaining two quarterfinals were held with Catalonia beating Gipuzkoa again, but this time the match was dominated by the Basques and also by the controversial work of refereeing, with Olivella and Pellicer scoring the local goals at the Les Corts while Gipuzkoa scored a consolation goal in the second-half through former Real Madrid player, René Petit. At the same time, the Centro Team took revenge on Galicia thanks to a lonely goal from De Miguel, in a totally flooded Madrid Stadium and under infernal weather. The semifinal matches were played on 27 January 1924. Centro and Andalucía met at the El Metropolitano, with the Castilian team triumphing 2–1, thanks to a first half brace from Monjardín. And at Les Corts, Biscay failed to avenge their "Basque cousins" as they lost to Catalonia due to an early goal from Barcelona player Cristóbal Martí. The final was held on 24 February 1924 at the San Mamés and ended in a dramatic 4–4 draw, courtesy of a last-minute equalizer from Catalonia's Emili Sagi-Barba when there were only two minutes left for the end of extra-time. In the replay two days later, Catalonia beat Centro 3–2 with goals from Carulla, Samitier and Piera.http://www.futcat.org/html/futbol_catala/COMPETICIONS_ESPANYOLES/altres_compet/princep.htm Copa de la Lliga (Primera divisió) League Cup (first division) es www.futcat.org 13 March 2023 27 September 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20070927202609/http://www.futcat.org/html/futbol_catala/COMPETICIONS_ESPANYOLES/altres_compet/princep.htm bot: unknown Monjardín scored Centro's two consolation goals and because of it, he was crowned the top goal scorer of the tournament with 5 goals, two in the semi-finals and three in the finals.
