Thanks to a strong first half and a late goal, Eintracht Braunschweig have gained some breathing space in the relegation battle in Bundesliga 2. The club from Lower Saxony won 3:2 (2:0) at fellow rivals Dynamo Dresden. Former Dresden player Christian Conteh (7') gave the visitors an early lead in front of 31,150 spectators and made it 2-0 after 21 minutes. Jakob Lemmer (54) and Nils Fröling (56) struck twice to tie and equalize. Braunschweig's Patrick Nkoa (78) restored Eintracht's lead, which also meant victory.
The hosts, for whom Stefan Kutschke had to replace Vincent Vermeij at short notice, initially failed to get into the game. Not much went forward. Instead, they made hair-raising mistakes in their own half. A whole string of them led to the opening goal. In addition, the ball was repeatedly lost due to mistakes. An organizing hand in midfield was missing.
