Everton tried to play out and were lucky to recover the ball after losing it but the Everton attack was as usual far too slow. Everton tried to build but Hackney was double-teamed. Hackney fouled Stange, whose free-kick was shanked behind by Dewsbury-Hall for a Hamburg corner. Some excellent link-up play won another Everton corner, George hammering in a low shot that was deflected behind. Everton countered and Aznou fought hard to win an Everton corner, Tarkowski called by the ref, who decided on 8 minutes of added time.
