End in jubilation: Dynamo shoot their way to staying in the league

Dynamo relinquish control of the game

Kiel only got into the game after a good 20 minutes, but were then very dominant. They trapped the Saxons in front of their own goal for several minutes. Dresden repeatedly tried to break free playfully, but often gave the ball away, meaning there was hardly any relief. However, Kiel did not create any real chances either.

Instead, Dynamo struck again. To everyone's surprise, Vermeij again flew into an unfortunate shot from Kofi Amoako and slotted the ball home to make it 2-0. It was his eleventh goal of the season. And Dynamo took advantage of their psychological superiority. Tim Schreiber saved a dubious penalty from Alexander Bernhardsson in first-half stoppage time.

Not much more going on after the break

Half-time two is quickly told. The action took place between the penalty areas and chances were few and far between. The fact that Holstein still managed to connect was due to a poorly defended corner. Former Dresden player Phil Harres dinked the ball into the corner.

Ten players were bid farewell

Ten players were bid farewell by Dynamo after the match. Stefan Kutschke, who is ending his career, received an impressive choreography from the fans before the game. Claudio Kammerknecht and Jan-Hendrik Marx did not receive a new contract. All loan players - Thomas Keller, Jonas Sterner, Julian Pauly, Robert Wagner, Konrad Faber, Ben Bobzien and Jason Ceka - must also return to their home clubs. However, sporting director Sören Gonther announced that they would try to bring one or two of them back to Dresden.
