Dynamo Dresden remain a problem child in the second Bundesliga. Despite taking the lead again, it was not even enough for a point in the 2-1 (1-1) draw against SC Paderborn. The fifth attempt at a home win was also unsuccessful. Christoph Daferner (26 minutes) gave Dynamo the lead with a penalty in front of 30,990 spectators at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion. Filip Bilbija (45.+1) also equalized from the penalty spot. Mika Baur (65') turned the game around.
Dynamo once again started without goalkeeper Tim Schreiber, who injured his hand, and striker Stefan Kutschke, who has been banned for three matches following his red card in Münster for an assault. Coach Thomas Stamm only made one change to the starting eleven compared to the previous week, bringing Claudio Kammerknecht on for Jakob Lemmer and switching to a three-man, five-man back line. SCP coach Ralf Kettemann made two changes to his team: Lasse Tjark Scheller replaced Calvin Brackelmann in the back three. Nick Bätzner started on the left for Sebastian Klaas.
