Dynamo Dresden wins 3-1 – Coach Stamm sees red in the friendly!

In an exciting test match on July 5, 2025, Dynamo Dresden defeated SV Ried 3-1. The duel took place in the Dana Arena in Windischgarsten, where both teams were on the pitch twice for 60 minutes. The atmosphere was characterized by a lot of effort and a few little nicks that kept the game lively. While the game was initially balanced, it was goalkeeper Tim Schreiber who prevented a deficit with strong saves, including against a shot from Bajic in the 20th minute. New signing Froling and Oehmichen were able to squeeze Rieder's defense in the 35th minute, but couldn't get the ball into the net.

In the 45th minute, coach Thomas Stamm experienced an unexpected shock. After complaining loudly about a foul on Oehmichen, he was sent off with a red card by referee Markus Greinecker. This decision caused quite a stir - Stamm later described it as "questionable" and explained that it was his first red card in his career. To inquire how Oehmichen was doing after the foul, he briefly entered the field, which ultimately led to this disciplinary action [image] reported. What is particularly noteworthy is that red cards can also be issued to coaches and team officials if they violate the rules or leave the technical zone, as the rules accurately describe [bundesliga.com].

An ebb and flow of events

After the sending off, Dynamo Dresden increasingly took over command. In the 60th minute, Aljaz Casar increased the pressure on Rieder to make it 1-0. But the joy of the lead was short-lived as Ried's Jonas Mayer equalized in the 78th minute. From this point on, the game became more heated, which was reflected in increasing fouls and a game that was almost impossible to catch.

However, Dynamo were undeterred and took the lead again in the 114th minute through Claudio Kammerknecht. Shortly before the final whistle, in the 118th minute, an own goal from Fabian Rossdorfer brought the final score to the game - 3-1 for Dynamo Dresden. The victory was a successful conclusion to the training camp, and the team is traveling back to Dresden optimistically to carry the momentum into the upcoming challenges emphasizes [Sächsische].

For coach Thomas Stamm, who reacted calmly and watched the events from the sidelines after the dismissal, the red card could be both a challenge and an incentive. Whether the episode and his reaction to the refereeing decisions will influence his tactics going forward remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: things are high in football, and emotions are often not far away - for players and coaches alike.

What do we take away from this test match? The warning that even as a coach you can occasionally get caught in the crossfire of referee decisions. And the realization that you always have to be on your guard during games, because even small decisions can have big consequences, as the rules show [bundesliga.com].
