Münster and Dresden: Drama ends 2:2 – relegation battle comes to a head!
In a thrilling duel in the 2nd Bundesliga on October 18, 2025, Preußen Münster and Dynamo Dresden played a 2-2 draw. Both teams had to settle for a point again as they remain in search of their first win of the season.
The game was characterized by intense pressure, especially in the first half. Dynamo Dresden had an opportunity in the 9th minute through Niklas Hauptmann, who missed the goal with a header. Shortly afterwards, Jano ter Horst was denied by Dresden keeper Lennart Grill, while Lars Lokotsch hit the crossbar. The reward for Dresden's efforts came in the 23rd minute when Alexander Rossipal scored the first goal with a direct free kick. This was not only important, but also historic: It was the first direct free kick goal for Dresden in the 2nd Bundesliga since August 2019, as bundesliga.com notes.
Unconventional game elements
In the second round the tide turned a little. Jorrit Hendrix equalized in the 51st minute after the ball went back and forth in the penalty area. But Lars Bünning restored the old gap in the 71st minute and gave Dresden a 2-1 lead. There was pure drama in the 85th minute when Bünning unfortunately scored an own goal, making it 2-2 for Münster. Confusion in stoppage time: Stefan Kutschke from Dresden received a red card in the 98th minute, which didn't make the situation any better for the guests.
Münster coach Alexander Ende had mixed feelings after the game. He praised the morale of his team and emphasized that the point was important for staying in the league. On the other hand, Dresden's coach Thomas Stamm regretted that his team was not rewarded for the two leads and longed for the first three points of the season.
Rankings and statistics
With this draw, the situation in the table becomes more confusing for both teams: Preußen Münster remains firmly anchored in midfield, while Dynamo Dresden initially escapes the relegation place. However, Nuremberg could overtake Dresden again on Sunday. According to sportschau.de, Thomas Stamm's team has been waiting for their second win of the season since matchday 3. Preußen Münster, on the other hand, has not been able to win in the last three games and urgently needs to score points in order not to slip further into the bottom of the table.
The next game for Münster is on Sunday in Magdeburg, while Dresden has the opportunity to turn things around against Paderborn on Saturday. In the 2nd Bundesliga, the topic of coaching changes is also a hot topic, as transfermarkt.de shows: Numerous clubs have already changed their coaches, which is causing additional unrest in the league.
It remains to be seen how the announcements will affect the rest of the season. The following applies to both teams: The next kick-off could be decisive for a turnaround!
