Dynamo Dresden have landed a very important victory in the relegation battle in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Saxons won 1:0 (0:0) against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Vincent Vermeij scored the decisive goal in the 68th minute for Dynamo, who increased the gap to the relegation places to at least four points.
After a ten-minute feeling-out phase, Dresden set the first accents. Niklas Hauptmann (13') failed to beat Lautern goalkeeper Julian Krahl after a counter-attack, while Robert Wagner (15') narrowly missed the FCK goal with a long-range shot.
The visitors, who were severely short of substitutes after numerous absentees, were initially intent on protecting their own penalty area and only launched tentative attacks of their own. As a result, the first half was largely devoid of highlights. Ben Bobzien (38') found his marker in Krahl after a fine combination.
