They had been expected to win the match but they weren't playing to their potential and found themselves a goal down at the break. In the second half, it took less than four minutes for Queen's Park to level the scores. A fine piece of dribbling by Billy MacKinnon on the right resulted in a clever pass for Highet who slotted the ball home. The rest of the match was played out with neither side able to find a winner as the cup final ended in a draw for the first time. Neither team was particularly praised for their performance in the match however Billy MacKinnon of Queen's Park and William Miller of 3rd Lanark received plaudits for their fast runs and dribbling skills.
