Team captain Henrik Vida contributed the lion’s share to the victory.

The referee was Ákos Fehéry (BAK), and linesmen Ödön Steinhübel (BTC) and Ödön Schaschek (BTC). The 20,000 enthusiastic supporters combatted the intense chill with woollen blankets, footwarmers and broadcloth scarves.
Kino-Riport footage:
“In the frame of a sensational programme, the audience wildly applauded the film footage of János Fröhlich’s and Aladár Fodor’s kino-report on yesterday’s exciting football match between Hungarian Physical Exercise Society (MTK) and Ferenczváros Gymnastics Club (FTC), which ended in defeat for the latter. The faces of more than 20,000 people seated in the stadium can be clearly picked out in this magnificent film.”
