The Cup. Dynamo (East Berlin) vs Carl Zeiss (Jena). Dynamo played Cup finals before and lost them – strangely, their fantastic dominance never made it to winning a Cup. So, they were wanted victory. But so wanted it Carl Zeiss… Regular time ended scoreless. Dynamo scored 2 goals in extra-time, perhaps inevitably, for their squad was more powerful than Carl Zeiss’.
Perhaps not just Carl Zeiss fans were disappointed by the loss, but what can you do… not a bad squad, but not as powerful as Dynamo’s.
BFC Dynamo (East Berlin) won their 2nd ever Cup and their 1st double. There is a bit of irony in that – when they really dominated and were at their peak, they never managed to win the Cup. Now, beyond their peak and already heavily challenged they won. A swan song of a kind. A double extracted with difficulty, without supremacy, by better goal-difference and goals scored in extra-time. But a double!
