There was concern in the stands when, at the 38 minute mark, agnostic's L.

Barović squirmed through their central defence after 75 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 2. By now, the players in agnostic felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.

Topos. agnostic were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Things were deteriorating for the away team as agnostic scored another to make it 6 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for Ð. Barović after 81 minutes. F. Ravnsbo wanted to play on, but the agnostic coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 84 minutes into the game by F. Tasiukaz. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; B. Silver made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 6 - 3 84 minutes into the match. B.
