Dynamo Dresden defied the shock of the Hertha game and the loss of four important regular players and earned a 2-0 (0-0) away win at 1. FC Nürnberg with a courageous performance. An own goal from Henri Koudossou (55') and a counter-attacking strike from Ben Bobzien (83') ensured that the Saxons, who now have 32 points, moved to within two points of the relegation places in Bundesliga 2.
"The way we performed, the intensity we showed, the way we pulled off such a close game, every player can be proud of that," said Bobzien on Sky. And coach Thomas Stamm emphasized that it was a win and three points, nothing more. "We knew that we could pick up points here if we performed well. We managed to do that. We defended well, that's what we set out to do," said the Dynamo coach.
Stamm had to almost completely rebuild his midfield engine room. Kofi Amoako and Robert Wagner were suspended and Niklas Hauptmann was injured. Chief defender Thomas Keller also had to miss out. This gave Friedrich Müller a chance to play in defense and the midfield trio of Lukas Boeder, Tony Menzel and Luca Herrmann.
