FINAL

Full-time: Dynamo Dresden 3-0 Greuther Fürth

In a match that was evenly balanced, particularly in the first half, the visitors had the better of the play at times, but were then too careless in their defensive transition for both goals, scored by Wagner and Bobzien. Dresden's strong start to the second half, with the third goal from Vermeij, and the second yellow card for Blank shortly afterwards, then paved the way for a deserved home win for the hosts, who, after the victory over Magdeburg and also in the DFB Cup against Schalke, were able to celebrate a third consecutive home win!

Grill gets down low!

The visitors are not giving up here, and that deserves great respect. Grill has to dive down at his near post against Srbeny and turn it behind for a corner.

Hellstern makes the save!

The home side's keeper makes a skilful save to push it behind for a corner, which Sterner then sends into the side netting.

Čović almost makes it 4-0!

Wagner finds Hauptmann on the left, but his cross does not find its target. The ball then falls to Čović, whose shot is blocked by Keresztes just one metre in front of the goal line.

Ball and opponent...

...are being run ragged here by the hosts, who now also have the numerical advantage.

70'

A force to be reckoned with at home again

2-0 against Magdeburg, 2-0 in the DFB Cup against Schalke, and today 3-0 up - Dresden have rediscovered their home strength

Debut for Zank

The visitors' striker makes his first Bundesliga 2 appearance - he joined from third-division side Viktoria Cologne.

Muhamedbegović blocked

Straudi finds Raschl with a long pass, who then sets up Muhamedbegović, but his right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area is blocked by Srbeny.

He's off!

Blank, who was booked after just 30 seconds and deflected the first two goals in, now brings down Bobzien as he breaks through. He's sent off for a second bookable offence!

Strong numbers

Pohlmann is having a strong game away from home and managed to escape successfully from almost all of his 13 pressing situations. With the score at 3-0, though, that is of course only scant consolation.

Unwanted record

Fürth make history, but not of the glorious kind. The Cloverleaves become the first team in Bundesliga 2 history to concede 1,000 away goals.

It's three!

Dresden are unstoppable! Bobzien, after doubling his team's lead, turns provider for Vermeij, who has the simple task of rolling the ball into an empty net. A great goal from the hosts!

Nearly a counter-attack

After a foul by Rapp, around 35 metres from the opposition goal, the visitors have a free kick, but they carelessly give it away and almost run into a top-class counter-attack. In the end, Klaus manages to clear.

Keeping on the pressure

Dresden keep their foot on the gas and are not even allowing the visitors to get back into their rhythm.

We're back under way!

Neither side has made a change as Dresden resume proceedings.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Dynamo Dresden 2-0 Greuther Fürth

Against a bold Fürth side, two deflected shots help Dresden go into the break with a relatively comfortable 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Wagner and Bobzien. However, the Cloverleaves are by no means without a chance, and at times even had the game under control with the better opportunities. There is still plenty to play for here!

Half-time

45'

Double chance!

Itter receives a cross on his left foot on the left side of the penalty area. The first shot is blocked, and Itter's second attempt, struck with the outside of his right foot, is deflected just wide of the left-hand post.

45'

Dangerous!!

Centimetres short for Sillah, who, half a metre from the Dresden goal, fails to head in Itter's cross and instead glides past the ball.

45'

+ 3

Good position

Klaus is brought down by Bobzien on the right edge of the hosts' penalty area, so the Cloverleaves have a free-kick in a promising position. Itter is ready to take it...

Stoppage time

Five minutes of added time will be played in Dresden.

Decent record

It is Bobzien's second goal of the season and his sixth Bundesliga 2 strike in total. Add six assists to that, which makes it 12 goal contributions in 26 Bundesliga 2 appearances.

Watch: Bobzien sends the fans into raptures!

Dresden double their lead!

And it's an almost identical goal to their first. Bobzien cuts inside before seeing his effort deflected by Blank and into the top corner! Hellstern stood no chance!

Compact defensive shape

The hosts are now sitting much deeper after taking the lead, while the visitors try to recover from this setback. A ball towards Klaus is too long, but it at least wins a corner, which Grill punches clear at the near post.

36'

Momentum broken

Despite having significantly less momentum in the last ten minutes, Dresden are now celebrating a goal. The time taken to win the ball back also clearly favours the visitors.

Incredible Statistic

Robert Wagner is already the fifth former Fürth player to score against the Cloverleaves this season! Previously, Nurember's Julian Justvan, Bochum's Philipp Hofmann, Hertha Berlin's Paul Seguin and Cottbus' Tolcay Cigerci have managed it.

Gooaaalllll!

The hosts break the goal drought here! Wagner is perfectly set up by Hauptmann, who turns away from two opponents before laying the ball off for his teammate, whose first-time shot is deflected by Blank and past the helpless Hellstern into the net! Dresden take the lead!

Now it's Hellstern's turn to be tested!

The young visiting goalkeeper dives down quickly enough to stop a sharp pass in front of his goal, denying a big chance. Both goalkeepers have been having a really strong game so far!

25'

Bansé!!

The visitors break forward again and come close to taking the lead here! This time it is Bansé who shoots with the inside of his right foot from 20 metres. Grill dives, saves the ball and is then quickly back on his feet to even prevent the corner.

0:15

Grill makes a strong save!

The hosts lose the ball on the left side, still in their own defensive third. That brings Klaus into play. The goalscorer in chief for the visitors doesn't hesitate and fires the ball low with his right foot towards the bottom left corner. Grill dives down and makes a strong save with one hand!

20'

Pinball in...

...Dresden's penalty area! They are a bit fortunate after a corner from Fürth that the ball doesn't ricochet to a Cloverleaves player, and they eventually manage to clear down the left flank, but the visitors keep hold of possession.

19'

From distance

Heuer summons up the courage from 25 metres, but blasts the ball well over the Dynamo goal.

17'

Sillah narrowly misses!

As Muhamedbegović and Sterner get in each other's way in their own penalty area, Sillah gets a shooting chance from the left, but his effort flies just wide of the right-hand post. A good chance for the visitors!

Intense start

Both teams have started the first quarter of an hour here in Dresden quite aggressively and are quickly looking for a way into the opposition's penalty area.

13'

Dresden corner

Because Bobzien refuses to give up a ball on the byline in the Fürth box, the visitors can only clear it for a corner. The visitors make the block, but Dresden are now pushing for the opening goal.

11'

Big chance for Dresden!

Once again it's a ball in behind, this time down the left, which the hosts then deliver perfectly into the box. From seven metres, though, Čović can't strike the ball cleanly and, rushing his effort, fires his effort over the bar!

10'

Game's best chance

The best chance of the match, though, falls to Dresden, who come dangerously close to the visitors' goal with a cross from the right. In the end, however, Fürth just manage to clear.

8'

On top in the early exchanges

A very long throw-in finds Pohlmann behind the hosts' defensive line, who look somewhat caught off guard. In the end, Dynamo manage to clear the ball, but the Cloverleaves are currently the bolder team going forward.

5'

No problem for Grill

Following a free-kick delivery from the right, the visitors have the first headed chance of the match, but the ball sails relatively harmlessly over the hosts' goal.

4'

Treatment break

Vermeij requires extended treatment, but it looks like he will be able to continue shortly.

Familiar faces

The four former Fürth players in the Dresden squad are all in the starting XI: Grill, Rapp, Raschl and Wagner. Of this quartet, Wagner made the most appearances, registering four goals and four assists in 31 games for the Cloverleaves in 2023/24.

Rapp is fit to play

The shortage of centre-backs is still severe and is made worse by Friedrich Müller's suspension, but at least Nicolai Rapp, who was substituted in Kiel with a knock, is available. Ahmet Muhamedbegović comes in for Müller, making his fourth start.

More on that Dresden team

Rossipal, Lemmer and Daferner, who were rotated into the Dresden team for the last match, return to the bench, while regular starters Straudi, Bobzien and Vermeij are first choice again. It is almost the same starting XI as in the cup upset against Schalke, with only Muhamedbegovic replacing the suspended Müller, who was sent off after two bookings.

More on that Fürth team

Heiko Vogel sends out the same team that started in the recent home win against Holstein Kiel. Aaron Keller, who came off the bench to score the winning goal, remains on the bench.

Heiko Vogel on facing Dresden

"Dresden are a wounded boxer, and that makes them very dangerous. They will throw everything into it. We know how the atmosphere there can develop – though it can go either way. If we combine the efficiency we showed at home with the level of performance from the Hertha game, it could be a good evening."

Thomas Stamm on facing Greuther Fürth

"I expect a side that plays bravely on the ball and intensely off it. They resolve difficult situations purposefully. We need a really good performance, but we don't have to hide at home. For us, it will be about playing with more courage, defending more actively and not getting frustrated if a shot doesn't go in."
