Review
Played at Sociedad Sportive Argentina. There is a review that we found in an Argentinian publcation that translates to this:

Caras y caretas (Buenos Aires), Saturday, June 24, 1905
Sports - Football
Sunday's Game
Football has quickly acquired deep roots among sports. It's new to us but there is strong momentum here through the memorable matches our top sides played against Southampton last year on Palmero's fields.
This year there is a new attraction with the arrival of one of the most famous teams in the world, Nottingham Forest. This event attracted thousands of people who filled the wide stands and thunderously applauded the admirable mastery of the English players and the brave defence of Belgrano, who lost as expected, but it was an honourable one. And we say an honourable defeat because the masters of the manly sport, Nottingham Forest, have met the relative resistance offered by the people of Belgrano.
The Nottingham players made a great impression on the connoisseurs, who admired the excellent tactics that they played together and the perfect game of each one. Great interest is expected for the games against the other teams and no doubt they will be at least as animated as that of the previous Sunday, maybe more.
