"Newspaper The Sportsman commented that "the whole eleven work[ed] well together and with great energy"." Cite needed. If it's at the end of the paragraph it still has to be at the end of the quote too.
"Wanderers captain Lord Kinnaird, who was adjudged the best player of the match due to his dribbling skills," better wording would be nice, I presume many wouldn't know what "adjudged" means at first glance. (I had to look it up myself)
"In a desperate attempt to secure an equalising goal, Oxford decided to dispense with the use of a goalkeeper and moved Andrew Leach, who had been playing in that position, upfield to play as a forward." This isn't a problem, I'm just curious. How common is this? I have to imagine it's very rare and would probably be ridiculed these days.
All addressed, I think. Taking the keeper out of goal for anything other than one desperate attack in the dying seconds would never happen nowadays. In the early days of the sport, playing positions were less rigidly defined and it wasn't unknown, but was still unusual, which is why I haven't used a stronger word than "unusual" to describe the event. Hope this is OK...... --

There appears to be a 'tradition' of FA Cup Finals starting at 3.00 pm or later on the match day. Is the 1873 Cup Final the only one to be staged at a morning time (11.30 pm as all accounts bear out)?
