Match Trivia
Football saturation and the unreliable threaten weather in Gaa Limited the number of spectators on the football field to 5-6,000, who greeted the popular ‘Shoemaker’ Carl Hansen with strong applause when he made his entrance to the field in Spidaen for the team as the leader of Glasgow Rangers. Mr Laur Anderson was the referee, and with him as president, the toss took place between the two old Danish country comrades Poul Berth and Carl Hansen. Berth’s troops had to defend the goal at Oster Alle, and for a start Carl Hansen made the task easy for them, because he was offside all the time. Our first chance was a corner kick from the left, Ernst Nilsson was unable to make effective use of it – the slow ball ended up along the ground for an enemy’s foot to clear. After 12 minutes of play, left inner-wing Cairns had the first good shot at our goal, and was saved by Frigast. A little later, Meiklejohn disturbed the foot of one of the defenders with a good shot, and Dixon ended a longer series of attacks with a hard-hitting shot just past the upright. Carl Hansen, who had laid out delicious ball for his players, now tried to break through himself, Vilh Jorgensen slipped and fell on the smooth track, and Carl had the onrushing Frigast facing him. He also slipped and landed on his tail, where he remained seated and laughed evilly when he saw Carl’s shot land far outside the empty net. After a few minutes of respite, Frigast had to cope with 2 difficult shots, first from Cairns and then form Carl Hansen, but was the forced to capitulate to a magnificent left foot shot from Carl Hansen, whose ball came quite low and just inside the bar (1-0). C H was congratulated by Muirhead, who immediately before the delivery was tackled irregularly, but the referee failed – completely correct – to give a free kick, which would only have destroyed the attackers ‘chance. Viggo Jorgensen delivered a fine, but far too long shot towards Robb’s goal, after which Carins had a cannon shot which was blocked by the back of Vilh Jorgensen. One minute before half-time, Carl Hansen scored goal number two with a weakly deflected shot after good passes from the players on the right wing (2-0). The second half took the form of a sketchy display. Like the cat with the mouse, they played with our players, who naturally under such conditions had a hard time keeping up. Especially after Muirhead, ten minutes into the half, had scored pass Frigast (3-0) with a high dangerous shot. The Scots were aided by their aforementioned interplay and phenomenally secure ball technique. Only a few times did our attackers manage to document their presence, but the result was rather pitiful. Glasgow’s defence was far too quick and sure, but Nilsson had the best of a few tackles, but there were no team-mates forward to make anything out of his cross which was headed away by left back Jamieson. Despite great superiority, the Scots did not get more goals than the three, and ours did not even reach a single consolation goal, which is why the match will go down in history – at least in the statistics – as a victory for Glasgow Rangers with 3 goals against 0.
