Dynamo Dresden again without a win: Paderborn wins after falling behind!

The second Bundesliga remains exciting, as the game between Dynamo Dresden and SC Paderborn on Sunday showed. Despite an early lead, the Dresden team once again had to give way to their opponents and lost 1:2 (1:1) in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium in front of 30,990 spectators. This means Dynamo remains third from bottom and has now been waiting for a win in 14 second division home games.

The game started promisingly for the hosts when Christoph Daferner scored from the penalty spot in the 26th minute to make it 1-0 for Dresden. Dynamo had more of the game in this phase and applied visual pressure, but without creating any further clear chances. Dynamo's defense, which was often criticized so far this season, made mistakes again - including the equalizer. In injury time of the first half, Filip Bilbija equalized, also from the penalty spot, after a handball by Konrad Faber was punished.

Firmly under control after the break

The decisive goal for Paderborn in the second half: Mika Baur, a former Dynamo player, turned the game around for his new team in the 65th minute with a remarkable volley. This turnaround turned out to be crucial because, although Dynamo tried hard, they lacked penetration. Coach Thomas Stamm made three changes in the second half, but the changes did not have the desired effect.

Paderborn, who have now climbed to second place with their sixth win in a row, set a new club record. Coach Ralf Kettemann praised his team's efficiency and spoke of a challenging game. “The moment played a decisive role,” said Kettemann. For Dynamo, however, the situation is becoming increasingly critical. The team has now suffered its fifth defeat of the season and has been without a win in seven games.

A look at the statistics

The statistics of the game show that Dynamo had more possession of the ball, but the visitors had the most compelling chances. In the 90th minute, Paderborn had an opportunity when a ball from a corner was only just defused. “We lack efficiency in front of the goal,” admitted Stamm after the game and called for an improvement in defense.

For Dynamo it will now be a matter of finding their way out of this crisis quickly before the fears of relegation become more and more tangible. Paderborn, on the other hand, can go into the upcoming games with new self-confidence and shows that they do not want to let this high flight stop.

A look at the table and the league statistics shows how tight things can still be this season. Those interested can find detailed statistics on the website Kicker.
