Game History

The 1978 Cup final was in many ways a summit of the East German football. It stood opposite the SG Dynamo Dresden: five-time East German champion, a three-time Cup winner and current leader of the DDR - Oberliga - and 1.FC Magdeburg: three times GDR champion, four-time Cup champion and former league runner-up. In the square were 19 national team ( 10 Dresden, Magdeburg 9). General was Dynamo Dresden, the reigning champion and championship leader, as a favorite. The Magdeburg had hurt after a long series until the endgame again the full strength together. Then the surprise: Not the highly traded Dresdner certain the game, Magdeburg dictated over 90 minutes the game. Not only that they in the 8th minute early lead went after a header from their libero Manfred Zapf, they also sparked a storm running in the direction of Dresdner Tor, appeared during the game 23 times dangerous on or in the penalty box on. In contrast, Dresden had only in the 74th minute through the axis of its first real scoring opportunity. While the Dresdner playmaker Dörner and Häfner did not get the game of their team in the handle and her teammates lost most battles, the FCM showed a straight line, resourceful and quick. Ex - national player Otto Fräßdorf ruled as a neutral observer before the 2nd half that Magdeburg would be the clear winner from the field. After the break, reinforced Dynamo although his efforts to turn the game around, but the storm 's weakness was offset by a compact Magdeburg defense, out of which Raugust, Seguin and Decker repeatedly ushered dangerous counter- moves. Since the only shortcoming on the part of Magdeburg a blatant chance conversion was observed, it was finally in a narrow victory. Gamemaster Prokop commented concludes: " A good finale. Not a malicious revenge foul. Also from the musical level, this meeting was a worthy final. There were many exciting scenes goal area. An attractive advertisement for good football. " ( People's Voice Magdeburg, May 2, 1978)
