Chronicle:

This week Torino played in Trieste. It is not easy to win against smaller teams and for Torino's players, a draw was a satisfactory result. The headline of a newspaper of the time reads "Penalties and kicks in the shins decide Triestina - Torino". The referee brought the match to life by awarding two penalties, one to each team. Torino's penalty was scored by Menti. In the closing minutes, Bacigalupo kept out an effort that was bound for the net. Triestina's players protested, saying that the ball had crossed the line and asked the referee to award a goal but he waved play on and the match ended in a draw.
