Controversies during the final

The standard of refereeing in East German football had become a bone of contention in the upper levels of the SED and the East German regime, and the cup final was played at a time when the disillusionment about the successes of BFC Dynamo stood at its peak.[1][2][3]

The German Football Association of the GDR (DFV) and the football weekly Die neue Fußballwoche (FuWo) received more than 700 complaints regarding the performance of the referees in the final.[3] Harry Tisch was so upset about the performance of referee Manfred Roßner that he protested to Erich Mielke and complained that such performance undermined the credibility of the competition.[1][4] With DFV functionaries, as well as Egon Krenz and other SED politicians, uneasy about the negative reactions, a special review of the final was conducted.[2][5]

An eight person panel led by DFV President Günter Erbach examined the video recording of the cup final on 21 June 1985. The review found that 30 percent of the referee decisions were wrong, and that 80 percent of those had been of disadvantage to Dynamo Dresden. The referees had made 17 major mistakes during the final, of which 14 had been in favor of BFC Dynamo and 3 in favor of Dynamo Dresden. As an example, a regular goal from Ralf Minge was denied due to an alleged offside position. Referee Manfred Roßner was banned one year from officiating matches above second tier.[6][7][8][5][1][4][2][9]
