Course of the game
The game-deciding scene ran in the 57th minute: Rohde fended off a free kick by Karl-Marx-Städter Mehlhorn with a header, which hit his striker Doll. He used the storming forward Rohde again, who served the lurking Thom with a centimeter-precise pass. The FCK goalkeeper hesitated a moment too long in front of the fast-moving BFC striker, who was able to push the ball past Schmidt unhindered.
The tactical measure taken by BFC trainer Bogs to put the regular Libero Frank Rohde as an offensive force in midfield had thus proven successful. He immediately accepted his unusual role with flying colors and brought the Berlin peaks Doll and Thom into promising position early on. With numerous corners and free kicks, the Dynamo team had the opportunity to take the lead early on. With great saves, goalkeeper Schmidt was able to prevent a quick game decision. On the other hand, the game of the Karl-Marx-Städter was too slow to develop, and no impulses came from the defense. Even in midfield, they failed to constructively build up the game because both Keller and Heidrich did not find their usual form. It was not until the 37th minute that the FCK took its first dangerous action when Richter prevailed against three opponents and narrowly missed the BFC goal with a left-footed shot. Despite the oppressive superiority of the BFC, the first half ended goalless.
Twelve minutes after the restart, the only goal fell, which decided the game, but initially turned the game around. While the BFC largely withdrew to defend its opening goal, the FCK awoke from its lethargy and switched to full offensive. In addition, coach Meyer Ziffert and Seifert replaced the disappointing Heidrich and Keller and gave them the motto to put more pressure on. In fact, the Saxons opened up some good scoring chances, but overall, their actions remained too transparent and could not surprise the compactly standing Berliners. In the end with Ksienzyk as a fresh defender and even with the withdrawn Thom, the BFC saved themselves without conceding a goal until the final whistle.
According to Deutsches Sportecho on April 3, 1989, the coach of the winner Jürgen Bogs gave the final verdict on his team: “The combative attitude was right. At the decisive moment, the team tightened up, created greater opportunities and therefore not undeservedly won. "
