[!] match abandoned at 2-0 after 73'; Italy do not recognise the match as
    official and deleted it entirely from their records (it was the only 
    loss Italy (would have) suffered between November 1935 and November
    1939, a period in which they played 29 other matches); the match is
    official for Austria

NB: match  1: both goals conceded by Hiden, who was replaced by Platzer in 90'
