As a result, the rest of the first half was balanced and each team managed to score another goal. In the second half, VfB scored six more goals due to a poor performance by Prussia-Samlan's goalkeeper.

The attackers of VfB failed as a result of the good defense by Prussia-Samland , in return Prussia-Samland took the lead with a penalty.

Danzig increased the pressure again, but failed because of the defense and the gatekeeper. Thus, VfB Königsberg was able to win its second Baltic championship title.
