Match details

27 March 1904

Athletic Bilbao	not played	Club Español de Madrid

Tiro del Pichón, Madrid

Athletic Bilbao automatically qualified for the final.

Club Español de Madrid had tied one game and had not completed the other game in 1904 Copa del Rey, so on the eve of the final, the newly arrived Bilbao players were asked to wait for just a few days until the Madrid champion was decided, but Bilbao's captain Juan Astorquia refused to do so without even flinching, and therefore, the people of Bilbao showed up at eleven in the morning at the Español de Madrid field to play the final. Faced with this problem and unable to quickly solve the case, coupled with the rush of players from the Basque club to return to their occupations, the Madrid Association decided to award the cup to Athletic as defending champions. Then the Bilbao players sang the alirón and returned home.
