So now it's happened: Dynamo Dresden have lost their first game in 2026. The score was 1:2 against SV Elversberg - a top team. So not all that bad? Yes, because the defeat was unnecessary.
No question: Elversberg presented themselves in the second half just as the table position says. Ripped off. Clever. Aware of their strengths at all times. But Dynamo were on a par for 45 minutes. The Saarlanders were on the brink of defeat.
The fact that they didn't lose was down to the Dresdeners. At least in the first instance. "We lost the thread in the second half. We missed the ball, we were too sloppy in tackles and unfortunately didn't win the fifty-fifty duels. If you then make the easy mistakes in the build-up play in the second chain, it becomes difficult," said Dynamo goalkeeper Tim Schreiber, who wanted to be included in the self-criticism.
