There was a deafening roar of relief in the stadium, the reserves and players not in the squad stormed onto the pitch: the final whistle was like a cup victory for Dynamo Dresden. The 1:0 win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern opened the door wide to staying in the league, especially as the competition was playing along. Dresden didn't have many chances, but the one they did have was taken by Vincent Vermeij (68).
"I only had two chances in the whole game. I'm all the happier that I scored the one goal. As a striker, you dream of scoring the decisive goal before every game," said Vermeij after his ninth goal of the season. Coach Thomas Stamm praised the greed of the defenders in close defense. "The team rewarded themselves in a game that was very even, like every week."
The Dynamo coach had to make a change shortly before the start of the game. Friedrich Müller came into central defense for Julian Pauli, who was suffering from muscular problems. Otherwise, the coach's regular line-up was used.
