A game on 28 November 1885 at Clark Field in Newark, NJ, USA was played between teams representing Canada’s Western Football Association, centered in Berlin, and the American Football Association, which mainly operated on the west side of the Hudson River. Played according to the American Association rules, it was the first international match played outside the United Kingdom. The Canadians won the match 1:0 with Alex Gibson the lone scorer. According to the New York Times, "the play was very rough at times, so much so that the referee had to interfere several times. Once two of the players indulged in a regular fist fight. The home team had been well selected and played well together, considering they had no practice as a team. About 2000 people were present, some 60 of whom were ladies.”
