Further, as Monti continued to play, other Italian players may not have been aware of the extent of his injury which is likely to have contributed to England's goals; England scored all its three goals in the first 12 minutes (at 2', 10', and 12'), while the Italians continued to play tactics where Monti was the last defender faced by the England attack. <a href="/wiki/Eric_Brook" title="Eric Brook">Eric Brook</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cliff_Bastin" title="Cliff Bastin">Cliff Bastin</a> caused the Italians an infinite amount of trouble by their passing and quick shooting.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Brook had missed a first-minute <a href="/wiki/Penalty_kick_(association_football)" title="Penalty kick (association football)">penalty</a> after Drake was fouled by <a href="/wiki/Carlo_Ceresoli" title="Carlo Ceresoli">Carlo Ceresoli</a> (who was able to save the goal with a prompt jump on the right).

such occasions, in 1894 and 1895, when seven players from <a href="/wiki/Corinthian_F.C." title="Corinthian F.C.">the Corinthians</a> played for England, both times against <a href="/wiki/Wales_national_football_team" title="Wales national football team">Wales</a>. However, many Corinthian players were primarily registered with other clubs, with the Corinthians team at the time serving as a combined amateur XI that occasionally played friendlies, as a feeder team of sorts to the main England team. Authoritative sources such as <i>United Kingdom & Éire International Database</i> (Jeff Hurley/<a href="/wiki/Association_of_Football_Statisticians" title="Association of Football Statisticians">AFS</a>, 1998), <i>England (1872–1940), Éire (1924–1940), England/Amateurs (1906–1940): Full Internationals</i> (<a href="/wiki/International_Federation_of_Football_History_%26_Statistics" class="mw-redirect" title="International Federation of Football History & Statistics">IFFHS</a>, 2000) and <i>Soccer: The International Line-Ups & Statistics Series – England 1872–1960</i> (Mike Ross, 1995) give no more than three players in the 1894 match, and two in the 1895 match, that were primarily registered with Corinthians; the FA's <i>Official Annual</i> does not recognise Corinthians' claim either.
