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.

Netherlands

The continental football scene expanded as FIFA members Switzerland and Netherlands played their inaugural matches. England joined FIFA in April.
The first international trophies were introduced, Netherlands and Belgium played for the Coupe Vanden Abeele and Argentina and Uruguay contested the Copa Lipton. The Copa Lipton match ended goalless; extra time was played but this was abandoned after 24 minutes due to nightfall. The records show Uruguay as being the winners, as they were awarded the trophy as the visitors!
