The bus journey from Mannheim to Dresden was a relaxed one for Dynamo Dresden - and without cold drinks. "We haven't won anything yet. There's no reason to break out into any kind of celebration," said Lucas Cueto, scorer of the winning goal. Shortly beforehand, his team had defeated SV Waldhof Mannheim 2:0 (1:0) at their stadium in the style of a top team and temporarily reclaimed top spot in the table. "We are well advised to simply continue on our path," said Cueto on MagentaSport.

After the 1-0 home defeat to SV Sandhausen, Dresden were once again called upon to show a reaction. And they did. Not much was conceded in defense, this time they waited for the few chances that presented themselves in attack and exploited them extremely effectively. Bentley Baxter Bahn made it 1:0 just before the break with an own goal, deflecting a poorly struck shot from Tom Zimmerschied into his own goal. Cueto showed off his skills when he made it 2-0 after 62 minutes by pulling inside in Arien Robben style, leaving two opponents standing and converting with aplomb.

After a long injury lay-off, he was delighted with his goal. "These are my actions, my strengths that I can contribute," said the substitute match-winner.

He had come on for Zimmerschied, who had seen his 5th yellow card and will not be able to play against Dortmund. "We have the chance to bring one or two players off the bench who can make the difference. That was the case today," said Dynamo coach Markus Anfang after his team scored their ninth joker goal of the season. The table doesn't matter to him: "If we play well and win, we'll know what it looks like in the end anyway," said Anfang.
