The United forwards were quick to press from the start of the match. Yourieff threatened in the early stages and nearly raced through the minute. Fonseca raced through the opposing defence and, like Yurieff, slammed the ball against the outside of the net. The two German defenders, Wetzell and Berg, played up to form, making numerous clearances, but "MacRae, Thompson, and Ellis were shaky and were constantly outwitted by their faster and cleverer opponents.
Yourieff opened scoring in the 15th minute when he back-flipped a pretty shot in front of the goal following a short scramble. The United forwards swarmed over the Rest of Shanghai territory, passing the ball from left to right. Waldman dashed through on his own effort but he also had the misfortune of driving wide. Later on, Veir directed a rake ing shot which was neatly saved by Schoemann at the expense of an abortive corner.
Breaking away in the 26th minute Cole feinted an attempt to shoot. The ball was picked up by Partab Singh Kung who shot intọ the corner of the net to tie the score.
However, it took the United eleven only three minutes to regain the advantage when Yourieff beat Schoemani wih a cunning shot after a solo dash.
A different story was told upon the resumption. The Rest of Shanghai came back to life. Cole and Pote-
Hunt showed smooth ce-ordination.
They passed the ball through, the latter making the finishing touch and sending the ball past Jones to deadlock the score for the second and last time.
