Before the start of the second half of the season, third division soccer team Dynamo Dresden won a test match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern 3:0.

Just before the start of the second half of the season, third-division soccer club Dynamo Dresden underlined its strong form. At the end of the nine-day training camp in Belek, Turkey, the Saxons defeated 1. FC Kaiserslautern 3:0 (2:0) on Wednesday. Jakob Lemmer (7'), Tymotheusz Pucharcz (43') with an own goal and Jonas Oehmichen (81') scored the goals in the duel with the second division club.

The mature performance over long stretches against the rivals playing one division higher once again underlined SGD's promotion ambitions. Coach Markus Anfang's verdict on the training camp was correspondingly positive. "We set priorities and worked on things that were difficult for us in the first half of the season," explained the 49-year-old ahead of the match. Above all, we need to improve our goal threat. "We get the players into good positions, but haven't been effective enough so far," said Anfang. In the test matches against Magdeburg (2:2) and now against Kaiserslautern, that was already much better.

In the test match against FCK, Anfang gave many players match practice. Oliver Batista Meier did not feature. The attacker, whose loan to league rivals SC Verl ended prematurely, has been back with the team since Sunday after recovering from an infection. However, it is questionable whether he will remain in Dresden. The top scorer in the 3rd division (nine goals, ten assists) wants to leave the club, and Dynamo are also prepared to let the player go if they receive a suitable offer. "He is a player who can help us achieve our sporting goals. But the transfer window is open and there is a lot of speculation. I don't want to rule anything out," explained sporting director Ralf Becker to the "Sächsische Zeitung" (Wednesday). The 53-year-old criticized the reporting in the Batista Meier case. "It is being presented in such a way that it is already clear that he is leaving. But that is absolutely wrong. It's completely open," confirmed Becker.
