Dynamo Dresden missed another surprise in the DFB Cup and was eliminated on Wednesday (October 30th) by second division team Darmstadt 98. The SGD lost 2:3 (0:0, 2:2) after extra time.

Cup fight with five goals

In front of 30,070 spectators in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium, Aleksandar Vukotic headed the guests into the lead (56th). Substitute Jakob Lemmer (84') equalized before Tobias Kempe (90'+2) put the Lilies back in the lead with a penalty kick. Lemmer again (90th + 11th) ensured extra time. In this shot, Isac Lidberg (98th) scored the Lilies in the round of 16.

Darmstadt's Vukotic nods in to make it 1-0.

Hardly any chances in the first half

Against a very defensive Dynamo team that had eliminated second division team Fortuna Düsseldorf in the first round, the Lilies dominated the first half hour without causing any danger. The hosts, who only appeared sporadically in the opposition half during this time, had a good opportunity through Christoph Daferner (8th), who hit the side netting.

From the 30th minute onwards, Dynamo became more courageous, gaining a 5-1 corner advantage until the break, but only had a half-chance after a sharp cross from Philip Heise. Fraser Hornby had Darmstadt's only chance shortly before the half-time whistle. Robin Meißner directed his shot from the turn onto the crossbar.

There were hardly any chances to score at halftime.

Dresden always equalizes quickly

In the second half, both teams broke down their basic order and played more forward. Nevertheless, the visitors' lead was surprising. After the third corner, Vukotic used his height and headed in an unstoppable shot. Just two minutes later he almost scored a second time, but his shot went over the goal.

Now it was exciting. Schuhen (63') saved the lead with a reflex after a Meißner header. Afterwards, chances arose on both sides, with the Darmstadt team being more dangerous after counterattacks. Lemmer finally scored for Dynamo. When referee Tobias Stieler awarded a penalty when Jonas Sterner made contact with Lidberg, Kempe was there, but Lemmer scored again with a powerful shot, so the game went into extra time. A counter-attack goal from Lidberg finally brought the decision.
