Dynamo Dresden are back on the road to success. One week after the 2-0 defeat in the Saxony derby against Aue, SGD defeated VfB Stuttgart II 2-0 (1-0) today. Christoph Daferner (15th minute) scored the early lead, Tony Menzel (72nd) added to it midway through the second half. Stuttgart's Samuele Di Benedetto was shown a yellow card in the meantime (55'). The game at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion was watched by 27,205 spectators.
The home side started cautiously, leaving the action to the visitors for the time being. The second team of the German runners-up were certainly keen to play. However, Vinko Sapina took advantage of a loss of possession in midfield. The new signing served Daferner perfectly. The striker showed nerves of steel to beat VfB goalkeeper Dennis Seimen. Afterwards, SGD acted in the style of a top team, hardly allowing the Swabians to develop. Both Niklas Hauptmann (19') and Sapina (31') could have extended the lead. Nevertheless, the superior hosts went into the break with a very narrow 1-0 lead.
