Match Report
Reuters,
Saturday, 28 November 1899 |
The concluding match of the tour
if the English football team on the Continent was played here to-day,
when the Englishmen again opposed an eleven representing the combined
strength of Germany and Austria.
The result was a win for
England by seven goals to none. The width and roughness of the ground
interfered to some extent with the combination of the English players,
but they nevertheless pressed nearly all through the game. The German
defence was good, but though playing a plucky game they were
overmatched. In the first half two goals were scored by
Taylor and one each by Chadwick and Rogers. In the second half Chadwick
scored twice and Brown once. Holt played a splendid game for the
Englishmen. There were 3,000 spectators.
The Englishmen,
who have had an extremely pleasant tour, leave for home to-morrow.

Daily Mail, Saturday, 2
December 1899 |
The Englishmen won the toss, and after nine minutes' play Chadwick
scored for them. Two minutes later Rogers added a second point, and
before half-time Taylor put on two more. England thus led at the
interval by 4 goals to nil.
The second half was more evenly
contested, and a long time elapsed before the visitors added to their
score. Brown, however, obtained the fifth point, and Chadwick scoring
twice more before the close, England won by 7 goals to nil.
The uneven ground was all against scientific play, but Rogers forward,
Holt at half-back, and Crabtree at back, all showed good form. The
Germans showed plenty of pluck and pace, while their combination was
fairly good and their goal-keeping excellent."
