Post by frankdellapa@gmail.com
This was a rematch for several players of the 1930 World Cup semifinals, Argentina defeating the U.S., 6-1, in Montevideo. Velez Sarsfield had a 20W-1L-4D record on tour of Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Peru and the U.S., using several players on loan, such as Bernabé Ferreyra, Fernando Paternoster and Francisco Varallo. Ferreyra was likely the Velez goal-scorer against Fall River.
Goals: Gonsalves 3, Patenaude 2; Ferreira 2.
