Match Summary
Status: British (Home) Championship (6th) International, match four;
Venue: The Surrey Cricket Ground, The Oval, Kennington, London;
Attendance: 10,000;
Goals: England - Even the first goal's tricky. Two Scottish papers give it to Brodie, but five publications go for Goodall and six for Bassett. The last two players were both involved in the dribble that led up to the goal.

Three papers say it came from a scrimmage and don't specify a scorer; two others say the ball was 'driven through'; and another 'driven through'.

Scotland - Munro, Harry Allen, own goal [Scotland's equaliser is credited to Oswald by several papers but listed as an own goal by others. It was pretty clearly an o.g..] McLaren
