Third round

Netherlands - France (without a fight for the Netherlands)

Whether the French were offered the free seat and the French had to cancel because part of the team had already left, or whether the alleged abandonment of the game stems from the lack of knowledge of the exact mode (which provided no further pairing for the semi-final opponent of the losing finalist) cannot be said with absolute certainty.

Spain - Czechoslovakia (without a fight for Spain)

The Czechoslovak team was disqualified after the game was abandoned in the final, so the place remained vacant.

Individual evidence

1. ↑ After the extension, which remained goalless, was extended a second time by 2 × 15 min.
2. ↑ Due to the increasingly tougher style of play in the second half, with the Swede Albert Olsson breaking his collarbone in the 75th minute, there were only seven Spaniards and eight Swedes on the pitch.
3. ↑ It was the "prelude" to the finals as part of a double event. In the course of the encounter, the number of spectators increased to the final crowd of 35,000.
