The official history of FC Chiasso contains more information, stating that Pietro Lana scored first for Milan, Ernesto Peyer equalising and Luigi Forlano getting the winner.
However, this is not a contemporary source and doesn’t state where the information came from.
Enrico Tosi’s book about the two clubs confirms the Rossoneri goalscorers, and the team given by FC Chiasso, but makes no mention of the Nerazzurri side.
