Notes
- Missed Penalty: Ernest Needham1st miss from 2nd taken (50.0%). England's 3rd overall. "[England] should have scored in the first quarter of an hour. Battles fouled just outside the twelve yards line, and directly afterwards England were awarded a penalty, but Rennie managed to stop Needham's kick."
