It's been a long time since we've seen some soccer in Dresden. The last game before Christmas (against Rostock) was postponed, because of heavy snow the days before. In January, season restarted and the first match against Fuerth also got delayed, because we had temperatures around -20°C and everything was frozen. With the away match in Offenbach also being delayed, Dynamo have not played three of their last four matches.
Last week the weather became slightly better, temperatures around the melting point. Dynamo officials tried everything to make Friday's game against Munich happen. Although the field does not have a heating, they pumped hot air through the drainage and thereby melted the frozen field. After this happened, it started to rain for some days and the field became a puddle of mud. Guess what - they had a helicopter fly around the field for an hour, thereby dry-blowing the grass. Crazy.
After the helicopter went away it started to snow again and this lead to about 50 fans cleaning the field allover Friday afternoon.
With all that said, the match nearly was a minor matter. Or not? Remember, the team had not won any of the last 13 matches. Therefore huge emotions burst out, when Thomas Broeker scored his second goal this season for the 1-0 before halftime. And better: we even got a second chance to make a goal and this was used by our new defender Tomas Votava to end up with a final score of 2-0 against a strong opponent, who could not manage to have any of their chances get countable.
Several good players were seen this day: keeper Ignjac Kresic saved the lead in half one and even got a concussion. Therefore he was replaced by Darko Horvat in half two and he also did an extremely good job. Best field player for me was Pavel Pergl, our new right-wing defender. I cannot remember when I saw one of our players win a one-on-one situation near the Dynamo goal this season. Pergl did this more than one time in a single game and was one of the reasons for Dynamo not to lose.
