User:Madcynic/Sandbox/1960 SC Aufbau Magdeburg season

The 1960 1. FC Magdeburg season was the club's first season in the DDR-Oberliga, East Germany's top football competition, having won promotion thanks to a second-place finish in the 1959 DDR-Liga.

DDR-Oberliga
The 1960 season was the final season played in the calendar year, lasting from March to November, with a break in August. Magdeburg's style of play found many admirers and the team was regularly lauded in the press for their willingness to play attacking football. That style of play also contributed to side only finishing 7th, after featuring in the top third for much of the first half of the season, as the young side would occasionally be too reckless in their attacks and offering too much room for opposition forwards.

FDGB-Pokal review
In the Saxony-Anhalt Cup, Magdeburg was drawn to face Kreveser SV in the first round. This is a repeat of last season's second-round pairing which ended with a clear 9-1 victory for then-Regionalliga side.
