Spain v Portugal 1921

Alberto Augusto

Portugal's first international was against neighbours Spain. It was Spain's 7th outing. In their previous 6 games they had only been defeated once. They had played 5 games at the 1920 Olympics. 

Spain were 3-0 up when Alberto Augusto got Portugal's first ever international goal with a 75th minute penalty. The man affectionately known as Batatinha (small potato) was a Benfica player at the time. He represented 8 clubs in a 20 year career and was capped 4 times. 

In 1924-25 Alberto Augusto played for América (Rio de Janeiro), making him Portugal's first football 'export'. There are also sources that have him playing for Santos in Brazil.

The halftime whistle went after 43 minutes and the interval lasted 20 minutes. In the last minutes Uruguay pulled it back to 3-2 when the ref awarded a penalty for a foul that was committed a metre outside the box. The second half was 49 minutes long, but Uruguay couldn’t find an equaliser.

The Montevideo selection featured 7 players from the 1928 Olympic winning team.
28.07.29	Uruguay	3	0	Ferencváros
Revenge for the Olympic champions. Hungarian reports criticised the tour management for agreeing to a rematch and suggest that there was no way that Uruguay would be defeated twice in a week, hinting at some dirty play from Andrade in particular. Uruguay convincing winners though.

Taça dos Campeões Estaduais Rio-São Paulo

Brazilian championships were run by city or state. It was not possible to have a national championship. However, in 1910 a competition was introduced in which the reigning champions of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo played each other for a trophy. The 1910 fixture is seen as a forerunner of the later matches, and Botafogo's victory is generally not considered 'official'. In 1911 the  Taça Salutaris was insituted. During the competition's history a succession of trophies were contested.

Taça Salutaris 1911-16
Taça Ioduran 1917-19
Torneio dos Campeões 1920-31
Torneio Rio-São Paulo 1933-

The matches tended to take place in the following season (so that, for example, the 1910 championship was decided in 1911. 1937 was an exception to this rule).
