The Cup final opposed Dinamo (Zagreb) to FK Sarajevo. Current form hardly mattered, of course – Sarajevo was hungry for success and the rivalry between Bosnians and Croatians was not new. The match ended 3-2, confirming expectation for tough battle, but classier Dinamo won.
FK Sarajevo came very close to a trophy, but was unable to win – given the squad, they were the underdog. Talented bunch, but still not at its prime and really having only a cluster of high-class players.
Given the squad Dinamo had, it was only fair they won. With difficulties, but won. This team deserved every trophy they got – they were at their peak, excellent selection, which was a title contender and may be the strongest in the country. Lost the title, but won the Cup – their 7th, which made for a successful year in the competitive Yugoslav environment.
