Leipzig (dpa) -
Dynamo on the ground after own goal equalizer
David Kubatta hung in the net of the goal on the Bielefeld Alm after his unfortunate own goal. 472 kilometers away in Dresden's open-air stage Junge Garde, 4,000 fans sank to the ground stunned at the public viewing. 120 seconds before the end of stoppage time, something happened that no one wanted to believe after Bielefeld's proliferation of chances in the previous 94 minutes: the equalizer. The fact that they had to concede an own goal was an additional knock-out blow for Dresden. Nevertheless, the 1:1 draw at second-placed Arminia Bielefeld, the DFB Cup finalists, gives Dynamo every chance of bagging a return to Bundesliga 2 next week at SV Waldhof Mannheim.
By then, Dresden will have to do a lot of psychological rebuilding work, as everyone was more than dejected. "If you look at the timeline, it's bitter for us. But a point here is not so bad. The timing was disappointing, of course," said Dynamo coach Thomas Stamm on "MagentaSport". Kubatta found the scene for the equalizer "highly unfortunate. But I think that's also part of it," he said on MDR.
