The winners led by the single goal at the half-time interval Right from the start, nervousness among ihe players had been evident. This came to a head when, shortly after resumption two Rumanian players were struck by Italian players.
One of the assailants, Andreolo, well-known on Italian football fields, was ordered off the ground. Warnings were given to the Italian team.
