Ferraris opened the scoring after reacting quickest to a rebound from Giuseppe Meazza's effort, saved by the Novara goalkeeper. The second was a masterpiece from Annibale Frossi, who burst through on goal before rifling an unstoppable strike beneath the crossbar. Novara pushed hard after the break and pulled one back through Romano, but goalkeeper Sain produced a series of decisive saves as the Piedmont side finished with nine men.
