Dynamo Dresden in relegation pull: half-time shock against Darmstadt 98!
Dynamo Dresden lost 0-2 against Darmstadt 98 on September 27, 2025, so the team remains in the bottom of the table 2nd Bundesliga. The game against leaders Darmstadt turned out to be a difficult test for Dresden.
Coach Thomas Stamm had changed his starting eleven in four positions and sent selected players such as Kammerknecht, Amoako, Oehmichen and Casar into the race. The first 15 minutes belonged to Dresden, who put a lot of pressure right from the start with 62% possession and three corners. But the longer the game lasted, the more control tilted towards the opponent.
Key moments of the game
The defense around Julian Pauli started solidly, but could not prevent Darmstadt from striking shortly before half-time. A serious bad pass from captain Hauptmann gave Lidberg the opportunity to make it 1-0 in the 37th minute - his seventh goal of the season. This negligence turned out to be fateful, because shortly after the restart, in the 48th minute, Hornby increased the score to 2-0 for the visitors.
The Dresden defense, led by Faber, now looked uncertain. Coach Stamm said after the game that Darmstadt took advantage of mistakes and that Dresden didn't create enough of a compelling game in the final third. Despite a committed performance and good effort, the Dresden team was unable to create a real threat in front of the opponent's goal. So far this season, Dynamo have only lost one of three games against the top teams in the league.
Table situation and outlook
The situation for Dynamo Dresden is becoming more and more critical. With poor form at home and only 0.33 points per home game, the chances are not good. In direct comparison with Darmstadt, who are performing well away from home this season, Dynamo has little to smile about. In the previous meetings, the Dresden team only won once, while Darmstadt was able to achieve eight victories.
The team urgently needs to get back on the road to success in order to reward themselves for the effort and courageous performances in the past games. The next meeting against Darmstadt on February 28, 2026 will be crucial to turn things around and boost the team's morale.
