Extract from the official report: "The championship was decided on a league basis and quite by chance the last match between Hungary and Yugoslavia was almost a final, Hungary requiring a draw or win to clinch the series. Yugoslavia having drawn with Germany were one point less than Hungary, but a win would have placed them ahead. In a match full of thrills there was little to choose between the teams, one player, the Hungarian goalkeeper Boros, played brilliantly and to him Hungary very largely owed their win."
