On the club's 72nd birthday: Dresden slip up against Osnabrück

Evenly matched and intense game

This did not detract from the flow of the game on either side. Both Kofi Amoako (13) for VfL and Dynamo's Dominik Kother (22) had good shots on goal. The game remained open for the remainder of the first half. Both teams engaged in an open and intense exchange of blows. Scoring opportunities were few and far between, with Kutschke (38) having the best chance with a header. The 36-year-old missed the goal by a few centimetres.

Both opponents began the second half without any personnel changes. While attacking actions were almost exclusively initiated by the hosts from then on, the visitors concentrated on defending with great passion. Numerous substitutions interrupted what was already a disjointed game. Kother (75) missed the best opportunity to secure a home win from close range, almost unchallenged. Wiemann provided the surprising final blow shortly before the final whistle.
