[3] The competition consisted of a single two-legged match against the Italian team A.S. Roma who had won the Coppa Italia that season.

Peiro had fed a pass through to Cappellini and, as the inside-right cut into the penalty area, he appeared to be sent full-length by a tackle from Harland.

[9]The second half was more evenly contested, and Swindon equalised through Peter Noble who sliced a chipped free-kick from John Smith just out of the grasp of the Roma goalkeeper, Alberto Ginulfi.

[9] Roma responded with a period of concerted attack and were rewarded when Renato Cappellini headed home a cross from a corner, which proved to be the winner.

[10] It took Swindon five[nb 2] minutes to pull level on aggregate, when Arthur Horsfield volleyed home a cross from John Smith.

[12] With Roma pushing forward to get back into the game, Horsfield completed his hat-trick in the 89th minute – meaning Swindon Town had won 4–0 on the night, and 5–2 on aggregate.
