SV Elversberg have temporarily jumped to a promotion place in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Saarland side won 2:1 (0:1) at Dynamo Dresden to end Dresden's run of success. Alexander Rossipal (12th minute) had initially given the hosts the lead. Nicholas Mickelson (58') and Lukas Petkov (78') turned the game in the visitors' favor in front of 29,155 spectators. Dresden remain penultimate.
Dresden provided little relief. An overhead kick from Elversberg loanee Jason Ceka (70'), which missed the target, was the most noteworthy Dynamo attacking action in this phase. It was a different story for Elversberg, who turned the next clear opportunity into a second goal through Petkov.
After that, the now pressing hosts had plenty of opportunities to equalize. Elversberg waited for counter-attacking opportunities. SV goalkeeper Nicolas Kristof then saved the win in stoppage time.
