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. 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. ---- Note: In some sources Sesúmaga is listed as the goalscorer of Biscay's opening goal while others claim that Biscay's goals came in the form of two braces scored by Carmelo and Laca. Semi-finals Note: In some sources Fuentes is listed as the goalscorer of South's consolation goal ---- Final Final Replay ==Winner==
Aftermath
The sixth edition of this competition did not achieve the success of the previous one and failed to serve as the basis for forming the Spanish Olympic national team for the 1924 Summer Olympics and after the Spanish failure in Paris, the Prince of Asturias Cup ended up being definitively abolished by the Spanish FA on 26 June 1924. ==Notes==
