    Match Report

VIENNA, May 6.--Austria beat England by two goals to one at the Prater Stadium here this evening.

Swinging the ball about with neat, first-time passing, Austria had the English defence spread-eagled in the opening minute. Playing with great confidence, they were much quicker on the ball and seemed more certain in front of goal. The crowd of 60,000, including President Miklas and Prince Starhemberg, the Vice-Chancellor, to whom the players were presented, soon had something to shout about when they saw the Austrians outplay England by clever scheming and first-time shooting. There was wild enthusiasm when Sindelar outwitted Copping to start the movement which resulted in Viertl, a fast and thrustful left-winger, scoring the first goal after 11 minutes. Six minutes later Geiter, the right-winger, beat Sagar to put Austria two goals up...

The Austrian defence, in which Sesta and Platzer were outstanding, managed to hold out until nine minutes of the second half had passed. Then Camsell showed what a great opportunist he is...

A shot from Bastin, however, was only partially cleared by Platzer, and Camsell headed in to reduce the arrears...--Reuter. - The Times - Thursday 7th May, 1936

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 5 May 1936 that Italian troops marched into Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which then became part of Italian East Africa. World War II brought an end to its occupation, and, after five years in exile, the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie, returned to lead his country back to independence at the end of the war.
