EXETER CITY 2 READING 0

Angus lost the toss and Exeter kicked off from the St James's Road end facing the wind but with a brilliant sun at their backs. They immediately began to outplay Reading, who were hardly ever in the picture during the first fifteen minutes.

Shots by Owen and Williams narrowly missed, then Exeter obtained a well deserved goal after half an hour's play, Williams heading the ball on for Bussey to seize his opportunity and shoot low into the corner of the net. Exeter continued to attack until the interval, and Tierney was left with practically nothing to do. Poor football by both sides characterised the exchanges after the interval. Reading's chances were not improved by the loss of Tait, who went on the left wing for a while after receiving a groin injury, finally going off altogether. The City should have piled up a large score against such moderate opposition as Reading provided, but their finishing was weak, and chance after chance was thrown away, to the exasperation of their supporters, who numbered about three thousand. One minute from the end Bussey scored his second goal from Owen's centre.
