With the victory in the Saxon derby against Erzgebirge Aue, Dynamo Dresden were able to land a small liberation blow. Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer and coach Alexander Schmidt were cautionary afterwards, but also relieved.
The Saxony derby between Aue and Dresden was decided in favour of the SGD by Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer’s goal. The 20-year-old stepped up to the MDR microphone after the important away win and made it clear that he “didn’t think about screwing up” in the one-on-one with Aue keeper Martin Männel and “just poked the ball through the keeper’s legs”. All in all, the young attacker saw a “deserved victory. We are happy and the fans are happy at home too. “
There were some dicey situations for us.
Dynamo coach Alexander Schmidt sees Königsdörffer as a “young and talented player who will certainly have some bad games. But that’s just part of the game at that age.” In general, the 53-year-old found his team’s performance “too wild and open. There were some dicey situations for us,” which was partly due to the unexpected basic formation of the Violets, who fielded a three-man backline. The coach summed up the first half in the press conference afterwards, saying that it was obvious to both teams that a lot was at stake, especially at the beginning.
“In the second half, we had more structure and possession,” was the coach’s summary of the improved performance in the second half. He also had words of praise for the Violets, who “demanded everything from us with many duels. We have set the decisive punch through Königsdörffer and are very relieved.”
With the derby win, Dynamo were able to get a three-point win in front of a foreign backdrop again after six away defeats in a row and build up a small cushion on the relegation places. Next week, the next guest game is at Ingolstadt on Saturday at 1.30 p.m.
