Overview The German championship final was contested by SpVgg Fürth and VfB Leipzig with the former winning its first national championship. The final lasted for an historic 153 minutes, until SpVgg scored the winning goal, the longest game in German football history. Fürth took an early lead and Leipzig lost a player through a broken leg just before half time, unable to bring on a substitute as substitutions were not allowed in those days. Nevertheless, Leipzig equalised in the 83rd minute, forcing extra time. Fürth once more took the lead but Leipzig equalised again four minutes later. After 120 minutes the game stood at two all and the rules stipulated that the game was to be continued in 10-minute blocks of extra time until a winner was determined. A red card for Fürth player Hans Schmidt in the 138 minute put both clubs at an equal number of ten players again. The game was finally decided in the 153rd minute when Karl Franz scored the winning goal for SpVgg Fürth.http://www.weltfussball.de/news/_n1114348_/100-jahre-meister-das-laengste-spiel/ 100 Jahre Meister: Das längste Spiel Weltfussball.de 8 January 2016 German 100 Years Champions: The longest game Qualified teams The teams qualified through the regional championships: Club Qualified as Prussia Königsberg Baltic champions Askania Forst South Eastern German champions Berliner BC Brandenburg champion SpVgg Leipzig Central German champions Altonaer FC 93 Northern German champions Duisburger SV Western German champions SpVgg Fürth Southern German champions VfB Leipzig Holders Competition Quarter-finals The quarter-finals, played on 3 May 1914:http://www.weltfussball.de/alle_spiele/deutsche-meisterschaft-1913-1914/ Deutsche Meisterschaft 1913/1914 » Spielplan Weltfussball.de 12 January 2016 German German championship 1913–14 Berliner BC 4–0 Askania Forst Duisburger SV 4–1 aet Altonaer FC 93 SpVgg Fürth 2–1 SpVgg Leipzig VfB Leipzig 4–1 Prussia Königsberg |} Semi-finals The semi-finals, played on 17 May 1914: SpVgg Fürth 4–3 aet Berliner BC VfB Leipzig 1–0 Duisburger SV |} Final 31 May 1914 SpVgg Fürth 3 – 2 VfB Leipzig yes Report Franz 17 153 Weicz 104 Pendorf 83 Hesse 108 Victoria 96-Platz, Magdeburg 6,000 von Pacquet SPVGG FÜRTH German Empire Hermann Polenski German Empire Sebastian Seidel German Empire Hans Schmidt 0 138 German Empire Erich Riebe German Empire Julius Hirsch German Empire Karl Burger German Empire Georg Wellhöfer HUN 1867 Fritz Weicz German Empire Hans Jakob German Empire Karl Franz German Empire Georg WunderlichManager: ENG William TownleyVFB LEIPZIG German Empire Johannes Schneider German Empire Alfred Herrmann German Empire Willy Völker German Empire Eduard Pendorf German Empire Paul Michel German Empire Curt Hesse German Empire Georg Richter German Empire Paul Pömpner German Empire Adalbert Friedrich German Empire Hans Dolge German Empire Johannes VölckersManager: References Sources kicker Allmanach 1990, by kicker, page 160 to 178 – German championship Süddeutschlands Fussballgeschichte in Tabellenform 1897–1988 de History of Southern German football in tables, publisher & author: Ludolf Hyll External links German Championship 1913–14 at weltfussball.de de German Championship 1914 at RSSSF Category:German football championship seasons 1 German
