Three minutes before the end of the first half, Fonseca found the net after Bader and Duffy combined to beat the French defence. The inside-right passed to Fonseca and the winger beat the A.S.F. goalie with a shot from a few feet out.

The Police dominated the first few minutes of the second half and first Duffy and then Bader shot wide when within the penalty area. The A.S.F. centre-forward ran through the Police defence and was on the point of shooting when he was tackled by Stangaard and robbed of the chance.

A few minutes later Bossuet increased the score when he received a pass from Sbath and dribbled past Shute. With only the Police goalie in front of him, the French player made no mistake with a soft grounder into the corner of the net. Three minutes after this goal, the Police citadel fell again. This time Clarke came out to meet Jesu, leaving his charge unguarded. The inside-right had no difficulty whatsoever to place the ball into the empty net.
