2 – 1
“Florian Flick opened the scoring to give Braunschweig a surprise lead, rewarding the hosts for making the most of their limited attacking forays in a match Dresden had been controlling.”
Pivotal“Faride Alidou doubled Braunschweig's advantage just five minutes into the second half, capitalising on a moment of quality after Ben Bobzien had already tested the Dresden defence moments earlier. It was a hammer blow to Dresden's hopes of turning the game around.”
Pivotal“Stefan Kutschke finally got on the scoresheet to pull one back for Dresden with four minutes remaining, setting up a nervy finale — but Braunschweig held on to claim all three points.”

Outstanding performance
Eintracht Braunschweig•GoalkeeperEintracht Braunschweig pulled off a disciplined smash-and-grab at home, beating a statistically superior Dynamo Dresden side that controlled 71% of possession, created four big chances, and fashioned 72 dangerous attacks — yet converted just once. Braunschweig were ruthlessly efficient with their limited opportunities: Florian Flick broke the deadlock on 20 minutes, and Faride Alidou doubled the advantage just after half-time to put the hosts in the driving seat despite managing only 29% of the ball and a 62% pass accuracy. The pivotal moment came on 67 minutes when Dresden substitute Stefan Kutschke — who had come on specifically to offer a physical threat — saw his penalty saved, a moment that snuffed out Dresden's best chance of a genuine comeback. Kutschke did eventually pull one back on 86 minutes but it proved too little too late, leaving Dresden frustrated by their own wastefulness — three big chances missed — and Braunschweig celebrating a precious three points that lifts their mid-table security.
