Dynamo Dresden Win 2-0 in Closed-Door Test Against Dukla Prague

The 90-minute friendly was used to give fringe players match minutes as the club prepares for upcoming fixtures and a scheduled members' assembly

Overview

  • Dynamo defeated Dukla Prague 2-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the Walter-Fritzsch-Akademie with Jakob Lemmer scoring in the 58th minute and Christoph Daferner in the 64th.
  • The fixture was shortened from a planned 120-minute 'Mammut-Test' to a standard 90 minutes after the squad list showed limited availability.
  • Only 16 senior players were available for the match, so the squad was supplemented with youth players and coach Thomas Stamm made three halftime changes, including Tim Schreiber replacing Lennart Grill.
  • The club framed the game as a chance to keep non-international players match-fit, to give minutes to less-used players, and to test tactical options; both goals were noted as having been set up by the Czech opponent.
  • The friendly comes just before a members' assembly where a new presidium will be elected, leaving the match as part of a short period of sporting preparation and club governance change.
