It was, therefore, a team made of soldiers who came from all over the country to Breda for their training, including Amsterdam, The Hague, Arnhem, and Apeldoorn. On its way to the final, Velocitas defeated HVV Den Haag 3–2 in the quarter-finals and Sparta Rotterdam 2–1 in the semifinals. Despite having a strong start, Ajax soon had to retreat and play on the defensive, with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf particularly praising Ajax's goalkeeper Cramer and his ability to clear dangerous balls. Velocitas' goalkeeper, on the other hand, makes a much poorer performance, being at fault in Ajax's opening goal after misjudging a clearance. This prompted Velocitas to press before the break, but despite creating multiple chances and even deserving the equalizer, they failed to do so. In the second-half, however, Velocitas came out with renewed spirits and "showed us a game so beautiful, so sure, that for a moment we thought we were watching a distinguished English eleven-man team at work", scoring three goals via Clifford (twice) and Altinck du Cloux, thus sealing a 3–1 victory. In doing so, Velocitas became the first club from the south to win an important match against a club from Randstad. Velocitas' goalkeeper, Paul de Groot, did not had to touch a single ball after the break, mainly thanks to the work of his full-back Herman Gerth van Wijk. 1 April 1900 Final CVV Velocitas 3 – 1 yes Report Ajax Leiden Clifford 1–1Altinck du Cloux 2–1 Clifford 80de Groot Gerth van Wijk, Van Teijn Meijhuijzen, Verment, Warnsinck Visser, De Koningh, Clifford, Altinck du Cloux, Reiche Van Zanten 15 Kramer A.
