Some sources, including his profile on the club's website (Athletic Bilbao), contemporary match reports (SportsMole, RTVE) and later career summaries in the media (El Desmarque El Mundo, Deia Archived 2018-02-12 at the Wayback Machine) give the goal to Toquero, but other statistical resources, including the UEFA match report, (UEFA, BDFutbol, Soccerway) count it as an own goal by HJK's Rami Hakanpää.
