FDGB Cup 1960
The games for the FDGB soccer cup in 1960 were the tenth edition of this competition.
The cup games last took place every calendar year and began on February 21 with a qualifying round. The 30 district cup finalists, 54 teams of the 2nd GDR League and the 14 teams of the 1st GDR League took part in it .
In the subsequent first main round, the 14 teams of the GDR Oberliga joined them, from which the Dresden unit and the Weissenfels Progress immediately bid farewell to the cup. There was a special feature this year in the 2nd main round: The DFV had decided to host the encounters in neutral places in rural locations in the north of the GDR. This was intended to show the bond with the agricultural population. In 1960 the collectivization of agriculture into agricultural production cooperatives (LPG) was forcibly completed by a campaign by the SED . In this round , three other league clubs were eliminated with the Leipzig rotation , activist Brieske-Senftenberg and Aufbau Magdeburg .
In addition to the remaining nine league teams, the last district representative Dynamo Erfurt , as well as three teams each from the II. And I GDR leagues , reached the second round . Last year's finalists Dynamo Berlin (0: 1 at Empor Rostock ) and SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt (0: 3 at Lok Stendal ) failed here . Dynamo Erfurt was lucky enough to be able to compete at home against Einheit Greifswald from the first GDR league, took advantage of its chance with a 2-0 win and, together with Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt, was the only subclass teams to reach the quarter-finals. Erfurt went down with a heavy 1: 8 defeat at Chemie Halle , the Karl-Marx-Städter fought 2-0 against Lok Stendal, but then retired in the semifinals with a heavy 1: 7 defeat in Jena . In addition to the Jenaers, the SC Empor Rostock qualified for the final. For the Thuringians it was the first participation in the final, while the Mecklenburgers started the third attempt after 1955 and 1957 to bring the trophy to the Baltic Sea.

Course of the game
The 10th Cup final lived through its drama and tension and left a devastated loser. For more than an hour, the Rostock team looked like the sure winner, but they couldn't defeat the double curse: They couldn't win in the third final either, and they have never emerged victorious in league games against Jena.
First Empor Rostock had his opponent firmly under control, the cover around the safely acting Kurt Zapf bought the nerve from the impetuous attacking Jena strikers. On the other hand, the Rostock winger Leeb and Werner Drews put the Jena defense under a lot of pressure and goalkeeper Fritzsche had to work hard. In the 30th minute, however, he had to admit defeat when Drews put a header from his center forward Ernst with a trimmed direct shot under the crossbar. When Pankau was able to score the 2-0 on a cross from Bialas in the 63rd minute, the Rostockers thought they were already on the road to victory.
While Rostock was now complacently circling and from then on missed any bite, Motor Jena turned the tables and started a storm vortex that forced the opponent to make an abundance of mistakes. Inevitably, the Jena goal fell in the 78th minute when Peter Ducke hit Minuth and surprised goalkeeper Heinsch with a long shot. Even after that, the Rostockers could no longer get their game under control, and Peter Duckes equalizer, caused by a miss by right-back Schmidt in the 90th minute, completely unnerved the upstairs players.
Jena pulled through its modern game in extra time, nothing came together at Rostock. Jena’s winning goal in the 110th minute clarified the course of the game in the last quarter of an hour: Lange storms over the right side, two Rostock defenders cannot prevent his pass into the middle, there Kirsch stands completely unrestricted and can choose the corner. Rostock's coach Walter Fritzsch commented on the event as follows: “With the connection goal, the game was lost for us. But let us console ourselves, the opponent was very good, the game overall dramatic, exciting like none in a long time. " (Deutsches Sportecho, October 8, 1960)
