Match Trivia

The fourth play of the Scottish professionals was the most beautiful; not because they had to fight seriously for victory, but because they quite unexpectedly sacrificed an exhibition footing, a conception of high-class football, to which the Vienna Athletic Club offered the foil. That was actually the second surprise It has been said the Vienna Athletic Club would make a game of it. In recognition of their abilities, we came to the conclusion yesterday that our class in general was still a long way off that of the English pianists. We were well informed about the Rangers having played against the Glasgow Celtic. They completed with their entire team, playing a serious game from the very beginning, without underestimating their opponents. The professionals were sovereign in controlling the field, they had superiority in the first match of the English team in Vienna, which of the Oromans against the Vienna team, recalled. We have long since vanished from these times and had to our surprise that a good Viennese team against Englishmen, not only on paper but also in the field. The public trusted their eyes, but it was not dissatisfied how the applause was shown, which was given to the Scots for the brilliant game, how much the gust were superior, the fact characteristic moments for the supremacy of the Scots was the two minutes long combination play just before time, with which the Viennese not one came into contact with the ball once. The combination and the ball technique of the professionals stand’s at a height that can be difficult to ban. The Vienna Athletic Club did what was possible, and even the attempts Taurcr and Studnicka to break up had to prove to their superior opponent. The goalkeeper of the Viennese made no mistakes; it was not his fault for any of the goals.
