England kicked off and the ball went to "Middleton whose speed and good control enabled him to pass Reme- dlas with ease, slipping the ball to Izzard who missed. Izzard was soon in possession but he held on to the ball too long and robbed by D. Alves, whose splendid tackling broke up many an attack. Although England enjoyed most of the play and had matters more or less their own way in the first half, poor shooting on the part of the forwards nullified all efforts.
