Official injury time (minutes): 2

21:16
Terrence Boyd takes care of the first shot that actually hits the target. Striker Kevin Broll has no problems with his right foot.
43
21:16
After that, Mike Wunderlich is still on the ground and needs treatment. The supply is continued at the edge of the field. A little later the midfielder returned to the meadow.
42
21:15
Yannick Stark also goes with the counterattack, but Patrick Weihrauch leads the ball. This plays on the left in the box Christoph Daferner, who hits a hook to the middle and puts the first shot on goal for the guests with his right foot. It’s set too high.
41
21:13
Yannick Stark went into a duel with Mike Wunderlich with a very hard effort, conquered the ball uncompromisingly and enabled Dynamo to counterattack.
38
21:11
In fact, FCK is now trying to switch quickly. Terrence Boyd leads the ball on the left and finds Jean Zimmer with his cross. But here, too, there is a lack of accuracy.
37
21:10
At this stage, Dynamo takes a more active part in the game. Should the second division team be a bit braver now? A few spaces could open up for the Lauterers.
35
21:07
Now Dresden’s Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer are on the left. This is how you get to the sixteen in a reasonably coordinated manner for the first time. But even now there is no conclusion. Guerino Capretti’s boys ultimately don’t get into a shooting position.
34
21:06
Julian Niehues fires from the second row after a pass from Jean Zimmer. The left shot lacks precision. Once again, Kevin Broll does not have to intervene. FCK has not yet brought a ball to goal.
32
21:05
We’re still waiting for a Saxon goal. Dynamo has the ball regularly, but shows little courage to consistently play forward. In the last third, the guests still get nothing on the line.
29
21:02
Marlon Ritter is again on the left, this time playing back flat with an overview. Half left in the box, Kenny Redondo shoots from about 13 yards. However, Yannick Stark stands in his way.
28
21:00
Marlon Ritter runs from the center with the ball at his foot to the left of the sixteen and crosses. In the goal area, Terrence Boyd tries to steer the cross in the direction of the goal with his right foot. The degree gets too high.
26
20:58
At some point Dynamo always hits the long ball. These things regularly end up in the opponent’s rows. Usually it is Matheo Raab who is the last stop. So the Lauterer goalkeeper is at least involved in the game from time to time and doesn’t have to be bored.
23
20:56
Dresden’s efforts to get something going in a playful way regularly get stuck in the beginning – if you get that far at all. As a result, Kaiserslautern clearly sets the tone visually. But FCK doesn’t necessarily get it played to the end.
21
20:52
Substitution at Dynamo Dresden: Yannick Stark
21
20:52
Substitution at Dynamo Dresden: Paul Will
19
20:51
Then Paul Will is lying on the grass again. The midfielder, who was trained in the Lauterer youth team, can’t go any further. A painful and bitter exit follows.
18
20:50
A cross from Guram Giorbelidze from the left put the guests in the opposition’s penalty area for the first time. But there is no buyer for the cross, which gets a little too high and is caught by Matheo Raab.
16
20:48
Daniel Hanslik has been back for a while and now Paul Will is returning as well. Let’s see if that goes on permanently for Dresden’s midfielder.
15
20:46
While Daniel Hanslik is standing again, Paul Will looks a bit battered and is first led to the edge of the field so that play can start again.
14
20:45
In a dogfight, Daniel Hanslik and Paul Will collide their heads and fall to the ground. The supervisors hurriedly move onto the lawn. At least the FCK player is sitting again first.
13
20:44
After a throw-in on the right side, the Lauterers reach the baseline. Marlon Ritter’s flat, sharp pass follows. In the middle, Hendrick Zuck and Terrence Boyd miss.
11
20:42
Now FCK is playing on the left wing. Hendrick Zuck has some space there. However, the flank gets too high. Two possible buyers in the center are waiting there in vain.
9
20:40
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, the guests slow down. There is a lot of value in rest. But then Michael Akoto recklessly loses the ball against Marlon Ritter, who pulls from the second row shortly afterwards. The right shot from the left-hand position misses the target.
7
20:37
On the other hand, the Lauterers indicate that they want to proceed in a more targeted manner. Driven by the enthusiastic fans, there is almost no other way. So far, the hosts have not gotten it played to the end.
5
20:36
Dynamo is all about possession. You push the game device to gain security in the passing game. FCK doesn’t look at this for too long and tries to disturb the opponent who has the ball.
3
20:34
Right from the start, everyone involved is very committed to their work. The duels are carried out resolutely. Playfully, however, both sides still have to find a lot.
1
20:31
Fritz-Walter weather prevails on the Betzenberg. It rained just before the game at 24 degrees. The stadium is sold out with more than 45,000 spectators.
20:18
With a view to the direct comparison between the two clubs, games are recorded in the three highest German divisions. They last met in the 2020/2021 season in League 3. At that time, Dresden won both games – the one in Kaiserslautern 1-0. Dynamo can now look back on two 1-0 wins in a row on the Betzenberg, one of which happened in April 2018. In the previous two-league season, FCK last celebrated a home win against the Black and Yellows (3-0), in September That happened in 2016.
20:13
As far as the current state and state of confidence is concerned, things are looking a lot more devastating at Dynamo. The black and yellow remained without a win over the entire second half of the season. Ten draws and seven defeats were recorded. The last victory dates back to December 2021, when they won 1-0 in Aue. However, a draw – like the recent one in Karlsruhe (2:2) – would definitely be a positive result today. Then the eight-time East German champions and seven-time FDGB cup winners should have good chances in the duel between two former Bundesliga clubs in the second leg next Tuesday in front of their home crowd.
20:04
In terms of current form, both teams don’t take much from each other. In Kaiserslautern they had long hoped for direct promotion, but suffered three defeats in a row at the end of the third division season. The Palatine team got their last three at home against 1. FC Saarbrücken in mid-April. After the last day of play, the club officials took an unusual step, fired Marco Antwerpen and hired Dirk Schuster as the new coach for this relegation. Born in Saxony, he successfully led Darmstadt through the second division relegation against Arminia Bielefeld in 2014. That should now also succeed with the four-time German champion and two-time cup winner.
19:55
For the 14th time since the introduction of the 3rd league in 2008, the relegation represents the threshold to the next higher league and offers the third of the past third league season the opportunity for promotion. The sixteenth in the 2nd Bundesliga would like to prevent that and still manage to stay up. Dresden stands at this threshold for the third time. In 2011, the Saxons had asserted themselves as a lower-class club just as they did in 2013 as a second division club. In both cases, VfL Osnabrück was the opponent. Kaiserslautern has only played once in the Bundesliga relegation so far. In 2013, FCK lost both games against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and missed promotion to the German football league.
19:51
Kaiserslautern’s new coach Dirk Schuster has made three changes compared to the last league game. Hikmet Çiftçi (stomach flu) and Philipp Hercher (muscular problems) are out at short notice. In addition, Felix Götze can be found on the bench. Jean Zimmer, Julian Niehues and Daniel Hanslik are new in the FCK starting XI. There is a change on the part of the guests. Guerino Capretti benched Václav Drchal to start Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer after serving a yellow card suspension.
19:35
Welcome to the relegation for the 2nd Bundesliga! The duel between 1. FC Kaiserslautern and SG Dynamo Dresden is about a place in the second highest German division. Today at 8.30 p.m. the two traditional clubs face each other in the first leg on the Betzenberg.
