DFB Cup 1973/74
The 1974 DFB Cup winner was Eintracht Frankfurt . In the 1974 World Cup season, the DFB returnedto the original form of competition of just one game. The additional burden of two games in the DFB Cup would have been too high for the national players. In the event of a tie after extra time, however, a replay was still played. Defending champion Borussia Mönchengladbach was one of the teams that were eliminated after a replay: In the second round, however, a penalty shoot-out was necessaryto pave the wayfor Hamburger SV to the final. Since the German national soccer team was called to the training camp in Malente early on, the DFB decided notto hold the final until the beginning of the next season after the World Cup.
In the European Cup Winners' Cup, Frankfurt was eliminated in the second round against eventual European Cup winners Dynamo Kiev .
