Paragraph 18, point four states: “If a national game is stopped prematurely through no fault of either team, it must be repeated at the same place. If a team or its club or both clubs are at fault for the game being stopped, the game belongs to the Guilty with 0:2 goals lost, the innocent with 2:0 goals won.”
