EspañolFA CUP FINAL 1874
The 1874 FA Cup Final took place at The Oval in London, and was won by Oxford University by 2 goals to 0 against the Royal Engineers.
Both sides had been on the losing sides before in the final; the Engineers losing in 1872, and Oxford losing in the previous year's competition.
There were only five rounds in the whole tournament, including the final. Oxford played Upton Park in their opening match, securing an easy 4-0 victory. In round 2 they overcame Barnes 2-1. The Quarter Final was the big match for Oxford. They were pitted against the twice champions, and currently undefeated in the FA Cup as a whole, Wanderers. However a solitary goal propelled Oxford University into the Semi Finals, where they encountered Clapham Rovers, whom they had played in the previous year's competition. The win was secured yet again by just one goal.
Royal Engineers started with a bang, trouncing Brondesbury 5-0. This set up a tie with Uxbridge, FA Cup "virgins". After a tense match, the Royal Engineers prevailed 2-1. The Quarter Final was against Maidenhead, who were soundly beaten 7-0. After a comfortable 2-0 win against the Swifts in the Semi Finals, the Royal Engineers qualified for the final.
