Minister Schuster sees Dynamo win and praises "plain language mode"

No pyro, no incidents, but huge fan support at Dresden's home win against VfL Bochum. The Dynamo Ultras showed their best side in the 2:0 win. Saxony's Minister of the Interior Armin Schuster, who came to see for himself in the packed Rudolf Harbig Stadium with 30,616 spectators, also registered this. "As long as we all remain in plain language mode, a momentum can develop from which soccer and security can come together better and police operations can be reduced step by step," Schuster told the German Press Agency.

However, the CDU politician also made it clear that "we will only achieve this development if all partners work together on a new level, and this also expressly applies to the Ultra scene". In the midst of dealing with the riots at the recent home game against Hertha BSC, Schuster took the opportunity to hold talks with the club management, the police, the stadium's security company and the city of Dresden.

The crackdown with the threat of stadium bans seems to be working. Some of the revised security concept in the stadium has already been implemented. For example, the seating area of the away block was cordoned off with nets to prevent people from climbing over the barriers. The buffer area around the guest block to the home area was also reinforced.

Lead over relegation places remains

In sporting terms, Dynamo took a big step towards staying in the league. Jason Ceka (5th minute) had put the hosts ahead, after the change Vincent Vermeij (59th) increased the lead. Dynamo coach Thomas Stamm was particularly pleased with the clean sheet. "Now we have to take our confidence with us and follow up well. Enjoy today, then shake it off quickly," said the coach, who still had a goalkeeping problem before kick-off.

Fourth goalkeeper secures clean sheet

Tim Schreiber (muscle problems) was the third keeper to miss out. "We made that decision last night because we have confidence in Daniel, in the whole goalkeeping team, and because the next few weeks are too important," said Stamm. The fourth keeper, Daniel Mesenhöler, could be relied upon. Stamm had no doubt about that, as the 30-year-old Mesenhöler once played for Union and MSV Duisburg in the lower leagues.

In the final spurt of the season, Dynamo will almost only have to face direct relegation rivals. The team in eleventh place in the table has to face struggling Fortuna in Düsseldorf this Friday (18:30). As the teams in the basement are taking points off each other, a home win against Kaiserslautern on May 2 could be enough to keep them in the league. If necessary, everything will be made perfect a week later on the penultimate matchday at Eintracht Braunschweig before the season finale at home against Kiel.
