Poul Nielsen's 5 goals in 10 minutes are believed to be a world record, as are Denmark's 7 goals in 15 minutes of 2nd half. Denmark fielded only 10 players at the beginning of this international. The back, Johannes Hansen, insisted on having a haircut prior to the match, and the Norwegians accepted the postponement. Hearing that Johannes Hansen had arrived at Idrætsparken, Ernst Albihn demanded the kick-off.
