1933 Mitropa Cup

1933 Mitropa Cup

The 1933 season of the Mitropa Cup football club tournament was won by FK Austria Wien who defeated AS Ambrosiana Inter 4-3 on aggregate in the final. It was the third time that a team from Vienna won the tournament, but the first of two wins for FK Austria Wien. The two legs were played on 3 September in San Siro stadium and 8 September in Prater Stadium.

The holders, AGC Bologna, had failed to qualify as one of the two Italian clubs. It was the last time that Ferencvárosi FC failed to qualify as one of the Hungarian clubs for the prewar competition.

This was the seventh edition of the tournament, and the fifth edition in which Italian clubs competed and Yugoslavian clubs did not compete.

The accolade of top scorer was shared by four players who each scored five goals, Raimundo Orsi of semi-finalists Juventus, František Kloz of the other semi-finalists Sparta Prague, Giuseppe Meazza who scored one goal in each leg of the final for AS Ambrosiana Inter, and Matthias Sindelar who scored all three of FK Austria Wien's goals in the second leg of the final, the third, which was the winner, in the 88th minute.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
