Dynamo Dresden managed to stay in the 2nd Bundesliga thanks to an impressive second half of the season and finished the season in eleventh place. The team at the bottom of the table after the first half of the season won 2:1 (2:0) against Holstein Kiel on the final matchday. Instead, Fortuna Düsseldorf were directly relegated alongside Münster, while SpVgg Fürth had to go through to the relegation play-offs.
In front of 30,664 spectators, Vincent Vermeij put his team ahead with a brace (15th, 37th minute). Dynamo goalkeeper Tim Schreiber (45.+4) saved a foul penalty from Alexander Bernhardsson in first-half stoppage time. Former Dresden player Phil Harres managed to connect in the 82nd minute.
