AGC Bologna

The winners were AGC Bologna; after they defeated the holders, First Vienna in the semi-finals, they were awarded the cup as the final was scratched after Juventus FC and Slavia Prague, who contested the other semi-final, were both ejected from the competition following stone throwing and a pitch invasion in Prague, in what has been described as the worst violence ever in the competition's history.[1] In one incident, Slavia goalkeeper František Plánička was badly injured when he was hit by a stone thrown by a spectator.[2]

Despite the violence, Hugo Meisl, president of the Austrian Football Association, described the competition as a doubly valuable public magnet (Diese Mitropa-Cup-Konkurrenz erscheint ein doppelt schätzbarer Magnet für das Publikum zu sein).[1]

This was the sixth edition of the tournament. Renato Cesarini of Juventus was highest scorer with five goals.

1 The match was abandoned with Juventus leading 2-0 after the crowd, enraged Slavia had conceded two quick goals in the match and resorted to obstruction and time wasting, threw stones onto the pitch. After a stone hit and seriously injured Slavia goalkeeper František Plánička, Slavia's team walked off; both team's fans invaded the pitch in response, leaving Slavia pinned in their dressing rooms for hours while 1,500 soldiers and policemen formed a cordon. Slavia Prague and Juventus FC were both ejected from the competition.

gollark: I'm totally prepared to handle the answer. I designed CC orbital lasers.
gollark: Okay, so several problems:- this would actually be quite complex- I don't think drones can place things- navigation with drones is nontrivial, navigation upgrades have range limits of some sort and in any case don't actually use the world's "normal" coordinate system- why are you blowing up people with drones
gollark: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Alt+C.
gollark: It's just on by default.
