Match Report
Reuters,
Saturday, 25 November 1899 |
A football match under Association
rules was played here to-day between the English team and an eleven
representing Germany and Austria, resulting in a victory for the former
by 8 goals to nil. This was the best match of the Englishmen's tour. The
home team played a good game, the defence of their goal-keeper and backs
being excellent. There was little combination among the forwards, though
their speed was generally good. The Englishmen, however, were much too
clever for their opponents, and quite outclassed them. Five goals were
scored in the first half. Wilson shot three goals, Brown two and
Chadwick two. Crabtree, Holt, and Rogers were also prominent on the
English side.

Hull Daily News,

The third match of the English tour on the Continent was played at
Prague on Saturday before a fashionable crowd of 5,000 spectators and on
a rough and cold ground. The Englishmen had the best of the first half,
scoring five goals, which were recorded by [Geoffrey]. Wilson (3). Bassett,
and Chadwick. In the second half the Austrians made a better show, but
could not score, and Chadwick and Brown (2) obtained further points, the
visitors winning by 8 goals to none.
The home side were
far the best contingent that the Englishmen have met this tour, and
their backs and goalkeeper played splendidly. The forwards, though
speedy, lacked combination. Crabtree, Holt, Chadwick, and Rogers did
well for the victors, although each man of the side gave a good display.
The Bohemian Governor was present, and took a lively interest in the
game.
