Switzerland	-	Netherlands	3: 2 (2: 1)

For the Dutch, their first World Cup participation was over after the first round. In an extremely even game, the Swiss Leopold Kielholz took the lead after just nine minutes. Kick Smit equalized in the middle of the first half , but shortly before the break the Swiss were able to take the lead again through Kielholz. In the 65th minute, they expanded this with a goal from André Abegglen . Four minutes later, Leen Vente reduced the Dutch to 2: 3, but lost the game against the Swiss and had to return home.
