Course of the game
In the cup final, the championship third, SC Dynamo Berlin, and the eleventh of the recently concluded championship, SC Chemie Halle, met each other. Both teams had already won the cup once. Due to the championship result, the Berliners went into the game as favorites, had two current national players in their ranks with Heine and Schröter, while the Halle team only had one member of the national team with Urbanczyk. Despite this constellation, Chemie immediately seized the initiative, played smarter in midfield and had dangerous wing tongs with the 19-year-old Schimpf and Busch. Halle took his third corner kick in the 20th minute. Busch hit the ball up in front of the goal, the defense of the Berlin goalkeeper Marquardt landed at the Halle teacher, whose shot ricocheted off the inside post into the goal. Until half-time, Dynamo found no means to put their opponents in danger. From the top-class midfield with Mühlbächer and Maschke there was no build-up of the game, and the Berlin strikers disappointed across the board. An example of Halle's superiority was their second hit. In the 55th minute there was a corner kick for Dynamo, who was intercepted by the opposing defense and punched forward. As a result of this quick counter-attack, four Halle residents suddenly faced two Berlin defenders. A submission from Busch reached Schimpf, who cold-bloodedly rounded Skaba and completed it unsustainably. A quarter of an hour later, the Berliners could draw hope again when Schröter was able to accommodate a free kick struck by Heine past the chemistry goalkeeper Wilk in the goal. At that time Berlin only played with nine field players, as their right defender Dorner was eliminated due to injury. So it was easy for Chemie Halle to concede the goal and keep the upper hand. In the 85th minute, Heinz Walter made everything clear when, after a pass by Günter Hofmann, he outplayed the Berlin center-back Heine and made the final score 3-1 with a shot under the crossbar.
