At the beginning of the game, both teams attacked mainly with the central trio, since the sides were reliably “covered” by the midfielders. Gradually, the entire five forwards began to join the attack on both sides, and in the 19th minute, the first goal ended up in the goal of the Muscovites. It was scored by V. Berdzenishvili, who finished the attack started by Paichadze and continued by Gavasheli. However, the advantage of the Tbilisi team in the score did not last long. Two minutes later, V. Smirnov converted an 11-meter penalty kick, a minute later M. Semichastny scored the second goal, and when 10 minutes remained until the end of the first half, he scored the third. In the second half of the match, the Tbilisi team scored another goal (M. Berdzenishvili from an 11-meter penalty kick), and the Muscovites (M. Semichastny and S. Ilyin) scored two more, and the Dynamo team from the capital became the winners of the honorary prize.
For the first time, the cup was presented to the winners directly at the stadium immediately after the game, and for the first time, a lap of honor was performed. Although not an individual one, but a collective one. Here is how the newspaper "Krasny Sport" wrote about it:
"The match is over... The melody of the "March of the Footballers" is playing. The reserve goalkeepers of both final teams carry the silk banners of their society. Both teams approach the center of the Northern Stand. From the Southern Stand, the Moscow teams, participants in the USSR Cup, come out: "Spartak", "Torpedo", "Stalinets", "Metallurg", "Burevestnik", "Krasny Konditer", CDKA, Trudkommuna.
The deputy chairman of the All-Union Committee, Comrade B. A. Kalpus, approaches the microphone...
On behalf of the winners of the USSR Cup, S. Ilyin speaks. Comrade Kalpus hands Ilyin the Cup, and to other players the tokens... All the teams march in parade formation past the stands."
