1974–75 FDGB-Pokal

[citation needed] The semifinal saw a repeat of last year's final, with Dynamo Dresden and FC Carl Zeiss Jena playing each other.

However, as Löbau failed to spot the infraction while reviewing the opposition's lineup as is customary, they were not awarded a win.

Their famous midfield with Häfner, Geyer and Ganzera couldn't find their rhythm, instead Dynamo's play was dominated by nervousness.

Additionally, bad luck struck them when midfielder Leuschner had to be substituted due to injury in the 11th minute.

When Heidler eventually put Dresden in the lead after 65 minutes, the match seemed to go in the expected direction, but Zwickau struck back.
