Full-time: Dynamo Dresden 1-0 Kaiserslautern

Dynamo Dresden take another big step towards survival as they beat Kaiserslautern 1-0 to extend their cushion over the relegation places. Paul Vermeij's goal midway through the second half puts Dynamo in a strong position ahead of the final two matches.

Full-time

Strong second half of the season

Over the bar

Lemmer plucks up the courage to let fly from 25 yards. Over the crossbar.

90'

+ 2

Devilish goal drought

Lautern are in danger of failing to score for the third consecutive match - the last time this happened to the Palatinate club in Bundesliga 2 was nine years ago.

90'

+ 1

Keller strong in the tackle

Keller has won a good 87 percent of his 15 duels. The winter signing has played a major part in Dresden's improved defensive performance.

90'

Kaiserslautern have another go

The away side are now playing more offensively, pushing for the equaliser. However, they are struggling to create any danger.

88'

Counter-attack

Lemmer plays a good pass to the right for Daferner to run onto. He shoots from a slightly acute angle, and it is straight at Krahl.

Blocked

Another good chance for Dresden. After a lovely through ball, Luca Herrmann gets a shot off towards the right edge of the six-yard box. However, Kunze gets his foot in the way and blocks it.

80'

Attack-minded Rossipal

The left back set up the opening goal, which was his ninth attacking contribution this season (four goals, five assists).

80'

Dynamo's defence

In the second half of the season, Dresden have improved enormously at the back - this would already be their sixth clean sheet of 2026, something they did not manage even once in the first half of the season!

Favourable position

He takes out Bobzien on the counter-attack with a tactical foul.

73'

Yellow card

Paul Joly

70'

Goalscorer

That is Vermeij's ninth goal of the season and his fifth strike in the last five home matches. The tall Dutchman is now Dynamo's top scorer, with six of his nine league goals this season scored in the second half of the campaign.

And it's in

Dresden are celebrating, as they have broken the deadlock. Bobzien dribbles into the penalty area and then lays it back to Rossipal. He drives the ball low into the centre with his left foot and, at the far post, Vermeij is on hand to slot the ball into the right corner.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

27 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

8.81 m

Duel

Ben Bobzien gets the better of Luca Sirch.

First substitutions

Dresden bring on Lemmer for Ceka on the right. Lautern, meanwhile, bring on Bassette and Schramm. For the latter, it is his second division debut.

Yellow card

Fabian Kunze

51'

Intercepted

Amoako wants to play Vermeij in behind with a low pass as there was a lot of space in front of the striker. However, Gyamfi was alert and intercepts the ball before it becomes really threatening.

48'

Another clean sheet

Dynamo have not been breached in twelve of their 15 matches in this second half of the season before half-time.

47'

Kaiserslautern again goalless

They remain without a goal in the first 45 minutes for the sixth consecutive match.

46'

We're underway again

The second half has begun.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Dynamo Dresden 0-0 Kaiserslautern

Dresden and Kaiserslautern go into the dressing room goalless. The home side are clearly the more active and better team, as they lead by 10 shots to one and have won 62 percent of the duels. However, they have not carved out any real chances so far.

Half-time

45'

+ 1

Too strong

Dresden play quickly forward down the left, and Ceka whips in a cross into the centre. However, it is well in front of Vermeij, who has no chance of getting to the ball.

43'

Dangerous

A strong pass becomes dangerous as Jacob Rasmussen finds Berisha, who simply lets the ball run on with a slight touch of his foot. Before long, Şahin is free in front of goal, yet his first touch is poor and allows Tim Schreiber to collect the ball before he can shoot.

41'

Krahl comes far off his line

Dresden play a long ball as they look to find Bobzien. However, Krahl has read the situation well and comes off his line to clear the ball.

39'

Dominant midfield duo

Dresden have so far won 60 percent of their duels, with midfielders Amoako (89 percent) and Wagner (86 percent) standing out.

0:23

Save

Krahl does well to deny Bobzien's low drive with his foot as he puts the ball behind for a corner, which ultimately comes to nothing.

36'

Punched clear

A corner from the left comes into the six-yard box. Rossipal is lurking there, but Krahl is a full stretch and just about punches the ball clear.

34'

Howler

Krahl wants to pass to Sirch, but plays it past him and straight to Bobzien's feet instead. He takes a few steps into the penalty area and then tries to curl the ball around Sirch into the right corner, but it ultimately goes wide.

32'

Little happening at the moment

Following an intense start from the hosts, they are currently slowing the game down and playing it around in their own half. Lautern, meanwhile, are only pressing up until the halfway line.

27'

Everyone shooting

Bobzien gets the ball into the box, and three players get attempts off on goal. Ultimately, two are blocked before Kofi Amoako blasts the ball over the bar.

24'

Over the bar!

Bobzien creates some space with a good body feint and cuts in from the left before having a shot at goal. However, it goes comfortably over.

Tight

Dresden are looking for gaps, but Kaiserslautern are closing down the spaces well.

18'

Four hours without a goal

Kaiserslautern have now failed to score in Bundesliga 2 for four hours.

16'

Good shot!

Wagner lets fly just outside the penalty area and the ball whistles narrowly over the crossbar.

0:22

Krahl intervenes!

Hauptmann chases down a goal kick from Schreiber and shoots from a relatively central position, but the Kaiserslautern keeper is there once again.

12'

Asta's new role

He is normally at home on the right side, but in his 108th second division match, the Kaiserslautern man is playing on the left wing for the first time.

11'

Through ball

Berisha is obstructed at the last moment as he runs into the box and the chance goes begging.

Too far

Ceka is unable to bring a high ball into the box under control.

More control

The visitors are now keeping possession and passing the ball through their own ranks.

Punched away

Wagner directs a ball into the box from the right, but Horn is on his toes.

Kick-off

We are underway in Dresden.

Kick-off!

Last-minute substitution

Dresden are forced to make a last-minute change as Julian Pauli is unable to take part, with Friedrich Müller coming in for him.

Two youngsters on the bench

For Kaiserslautern, 19-year-old David Schramm and 17-year-old Ben Jungfleisch are part of the professional squad for the first time. Nevertheless, one spot on the bench remains empty.

Kaiserslautern team news

Captain Marlon Ritter moves into the starting XI because Naatan Skyttä is unavailable. In addition, Leon Robinson features in the starting line-up for the first time in two months, coming in for Florian Kleinhansl.

Krahl back in goal for FCK

After 18-year-old Enis Kamga made his debut last week, Julian Krahl is back between the sticks for the visitors today. Kamga will instead play in the Oberliga for the reserves.

Dresden team news

Thomas Stamm has all his key players available and therefore names the same XI as versus Fortuna Düsseldorf. This currently appears to be the strongest Dresden XI, with former regulars such as Faber, Boeder and Daferner now only squad players.

Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Dresden

"We want to make life difficult for Dresden and show that we have fire in our bellies. We're the ones who need to deliver - myself included."

Thomas Stamm on facing Kaiserslautern

"We need to adjust and improve a few things defensively. We knew there was always a possibility of suffering a setback against a side like Düsseldorf. What was more surprising, though, was the way we performed defensively. That wasn't up to our usual standards."

2:13

Watch: Kaiserslautern 3-1 Dresden - previous meeting

The Red Devils ran out comfortable winners in the reverse fixture, with Naatan Skytta, Marlon Ritter and Mika Haas on target before Jakob Lemmer scored a 76th-minute consolation.

Favourable record

Kaiserslautern have won six of their nine previous Bundesliga 2 meetings with Dresden (D2, L1).

One up, one down

Kaiserslautern beat Dresden 2-0 on aggregate in the 2022 promotion/ relegation play-off, securing their promotion to the second tier and sending Dynamo down to 3. Liga.

2:13

Watch: Düsseldorf 3-1 Dresden - last time out

Dresden's two-game winning run came to an end in Düsseldorf. Dynamo return to action with just a two-point buffer on the relegation play-off position.

2:02

Watch: Kaiserslautern 0-2 Braunschweig - last time out

Defeat to lowly Eintracht Braunschweig ended Kaiserslautern's slim promotion hopes. Torsten Lieberknecht's side are 11 points adrift of third place, with only nine still to play for.
