Oberliga Nord/Nordost
Berliner Fussball Club Dynamo 3-1 Brandenburg 05 Sud
Attendance: 341
Is there possibly a club with a more notorious history than Dynamo Berlin? Founded in 1966 they became the representatives of the East German Ministry of Interior Police aka The Stasi. They won the GDR championship 10 years in a row from 1979 to 1988, a European record, amid accusations of dodgy penalties, dodgy time keeping, disallowed goals. I suppose when faced with threats from Erich Mielke a referee has to do what a referee has to do!
These days they find themselves playing in the Oberliga in front of a few hundred fans. They too have a reputation that precedes them, for which I had been warned before I left home, and in the crowd of 341 today there are officially no away fans. There was another groundhopper though!
Dynamo were 7th at the start of play and the opposition from Brandenburg were 6th, so it was an end-of-season nothing game but was actually a reasonable spectacle to watch.
Dynamo took the lead in the 7th minute when Nico Paepe fired home. Robert Scholl equalised for Brandenburg after 16 minutes before Richard Steiner gave the homesters and interval lead with a goal after 35 minutes. Brandenburg should have been level though but Stefan Voss saw his penalty saved.
The second half was very much a none event and but it wasn’t until the 83rd minute when Dynamo finally secured the points when Scholl bagged his second goal of the game.
I enjoyed my day at the Sportforum, which is a proper old fashioned ground with banks and banks of open terracing. The beer was flowing all afternoon and i’m happy to say no trouble was experienced whatsoever.
