Dinamo
Bucharest and SV Hamburg were paired in the Second Round of the 1983/84
Champions Cup.
The
Romanian Club Dinamo Bucharest, managed by Nicolae Dumitru, were Romania’s
Champions for two years running, on their way to their third title.
They
were led by skipper and goalkeeper Dumitru Moraru and other Romanian Internationals
such as Rednic, Dragnea, Andone and Augustin.
They
had qualified from their opening Round by defeating Finnish Club Kuusysi
Lahti away and home (1-0 and 3-0
respectively).
The defending Champions Cup winners SV Hamburg of West
Germany were a different side from the all-conquering squad of the previous
years. Though, at the top of the League at the time, they were clearly not as
strong as before.
Captain
and veteran goalscorer Horst Hrubesch had been transfered to Belgium’s Standard
Liege. While Danish striker Lars Bastrup had returned home to the Danish
League.
The
Hamburg hierarchy had felt Hrubesch was getting older and it was time for a
younger replacement.
In
their place, the Hamburg Management had acquired Dieter Schatzschneider and
Wolfram Wuttke.
The
team was managed by the Austrian Happel and contained a host of Internationals,
such as Felix Magath, Manfred Kaltz, Dietmar Jakobs and Wolfgang Rolff.
They
had received a bye in the First Round, as they were the defending Champions and
this was their first entry in the Competition.
The
first leg, on October 19th, was played at Bucharest’ Stadionul 23
August.
Dinamo
scored their first two goals by two defensive errors by goalkeeper Stein and
Kaltz.
By
then Allan Hansen had already replaced Michael Schroeder after an injury.
Augustin
and Multescu scored the first two goals.

In
the 29th minute, Stein gave away a corner which was taken from the
right side, it quickly arrived to Augustin on the six yard line and he headed
home.

With
less than 10 minutes left, Kaltz made a bad pass in Dinamo’s half of the field
that was intercepted and Orac went through three defenders to score.

Many
bottles were thrown on the field by Romanian fans, at one point Happel even
started to complain to the Referee about it, which caused a delay of three
minutes.

Happel
declared that Schatzschneider should have scored twice before Dinamo scored
their first goal. He added that the Referee should have awarded a penalty kick
after a foul on Rollf. Despite the heavy loss, he expressed confidence that the
team could overturn the score with Wuttke back on a striker.
Even
though, it was a heavy loss, many in Hamburg still believed that they could
overturn it at home.

The
second leg, on November 2nd, was played at Hamburg’s
Volksparkstadion.
For
Hamburg, Wehmeyer and Wuttke were in the team replacing Schroeder and Milewski
from the First Leg. For Dinamo, Stanescu and Movila started in place of
Augustin and Talnar from the First Leg.
SV
Hamburg had to win by more than three goal margin and they attacked from the
start. They were rewarded just before
halftime, when Dietmar Jakobs scored from a header after a corner from the
right taken by Wehmeyer.
They
scored two more goals midway through the second half.
In
the 56th minute, Felix Magath took a free kick from the left side
that was headed down into the net by Dietmar Jakobs for his second goal of the
evening. Moraru attempted to save it, but the ball rolled under him and crossed
the line.
Seven
Minutes later, Hartwig took a throw-in from the right side, that reached the
goalmouth untouched despite players trying to reach it and substitute Thomas
von Heesen who had only replaced Kaltz minutes earlier scored Hamburg’s third
from close range.
At
this point it appeared that Hamburg might just be able to score the deciding
fourth goal.
Despite
Pressure, Hamburg were not able to breach Dinamo’s defense anymore.
In
the 77th minute, Schatzschneider missed an opportunity to score the
fourth goal after a cross by von Heesen.
With
four minutes remaining, on a breakaway , the ball reached on the left side to
Talnar who went across the goalmouth and took a low shot to the right of Stein.
This
dealt a killer blow to Hamburg’s hopes of qualifying.
With
Hamburg lost and resigned, Dinamo scored another a minute before the end of the
match by Multescu on another breakaway.

After
the match the Hamburg contingent could not hide their disappointment for
conceding two late goals. Magath stated that ‘we have defeated ourselves’,
while Happel stated that ‘in forty years of Football, I had never seen anything
like that’.
The
scapegoats were the two new recruits (Schatzschneider and Wuttke) and by
extension Gunter Nezter (SV Hamburg’s General Manager) who had recruited them
to replace Hrubesch and Bastrup. They were considered by many to be sub
standard replacements.
Dinamo
Bucharest went on to defeat Dinamo Minsk in the Quarterfinals, but were
eliminated by eventual winners Liverpool in the semifinals.
SV
Hamburg finished runners-up to Stuttgart in the Bundesliga and have not
regained their prominence since. In a way this match precipitated Hamburg’s
decline.
