Course of the game
This final had a clear favorite with FC Vorwärts Berlin. As the new runner-up, the Berlin team met the newcomer from the second-rate GDR league, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. The Leipzigers were also handicapped because their best attacker, Henning Frenzel, had only just survived angina. Leipzig's coach was still hopeful and forecast: “The team that looks most dynamic in midfield will win.” The game proved him right, but confirmed by the opposing team. The Berliners started immediately energetic and with full attack force and came to three corners in the first four minutes. After Piepenburg had already fired a shot at the post in the second minute, he initiated the opening goal for the army team in the 5th minute. He opened a combination of four stations, which center forward Begerad completed to 1-0. Ten minutes later, right winger Wruck made it 2-0 and the Leipzig team countered a debacle with other top-class chances. Above all, they were a victim of the strong Berlin midfield row, in which Strübing, Nöldner and Körner dictated the flow of the game. On the other hand, Geisler especially disappointed, who showed great weaknesses especially in defense behavior. With the 2-0 break, Lok Leipzig was still well served, but seven minutes after the restart, they finally seemed k. o. to be, Libero Gießner steered an input from Wruck into his own goal.
When nobody put a chanterelle on the Lok-Elf, they made the game exciting again. In the 62nd minute, Frenzel escaped his guard Hamann, played on Löwe, who pulled the ball over the Berlin goalkeeper Zulkowski into the goal. Six minutes later, the Leipziger Köditz picked up a pass from his left wing copper and scored the connection goal. The Berliners staggered, Leipzig came in the 73rd and 82nd minute to further good but unused goal opportunities. Jürgen Nöldner from FC Vorwärts immediately reserved the 83rd minute to mark the winning goal for his team after a duet with the substitute Pfefferkorn. This marked the end of the final with the highest number of goals in the FDGB Cup history.
Helmut Riedel, President of the GDR Football Association then summed up:
“A cup final as you would like it to be. A playful and combative very good first half of FC Vorwärts, in which everything could already be decided, and a passionate rebellion of 1. FC Lok, which once again caused tension. The more mature team deservedly won. "
