The game was drawn and thus a replay was required, which was won by the Anglo-American Club.
Because the Old Boys complained that one of the two FCB goals, in this replay match, had been scored by the players hand they protested.
The Swiss Football Association had to deal with the matter and subsequently the protest was approved.
The disputed goal simply deducted from the result and thus the Old Boys proceeded to the finals.
[3] In the final play-off group the majority of the English players from Lausanne Football and Cricket Club refused to play the match against the Old Boys because it was scheduled for a Sunday thus forfeiting victory for the Old Boys.
