Ben Stom was the only 'ever present' in the Netherlands line up. 
Belgium took a 31st minute lead through René Feye and debutant Louis van Gogh equalised for Netherlands in the 75th minute. As the Coupe Vanden Abeele was at stake extra time was played. The beautifully named and aristocratic  Constant Feith  put Oranje ahead on 99 minutes and van Gogh  rounded things off two minutes before the end of extra time.
