4:2 after 0:2: Dynamo Dresden defeats Energie Cottbus

Cottbus assault Dynamo

The newly promoted side from Lusatia started courageously with a good plan. When they won the ball, they launched a raid with eight men into the opposing half, causing confusion for Dynamo, who lacked control. The lead resulted from a corner that was deflected too short, the 2:0 was a 40-meter flick from Cigerci into the empty goal. Keeper Tim Schreiber had served the scorer with a capital misplaced pass.

Dynamo come back quickly

You had to fear for the hosts, who had frightening coordination problems in defense and were slow and unimaginative in their build-up play. It wasn't until the penalty - Maximilian Pronichev had held Claudio Kammerknecht's shirt - that the Saxons woke up and quickly equalized thanks to a great counter-attack. Dynamo were still unlucky in this wild first half when Niko Bretschneider prolonged a header from Aljaz Casar to the bottom edge of the crossbar of his own goal (45.+1)
