Germany's first ever football league championships has finally been decided 113 years after it first took place. Hanau 93 and Viktoria 1889 Berlin were to meet to decide the first German football championship in 1894. But Hanau could not afford the 300 mile trip to the final in the capital - and so the Berlin club was awarded the title by default. This month, 113 years later, the match was finally held and Berlin won 4-1 on aggregate over two legs. Head of the German FA, Theo Zwanziger, said: "I think it is a beautiful idea that both clubs played this game to decide who the real, moral winner is after such a long time."
