Magdeburg breaks 25 years of drought: win against Dynamo Dresden!
On August 11, 2025, the 1. FC Magdeburg for a sensation in the football world when they won again after 25 years at SG Dynamo Dresden. With a narrow 2-1 win, Magdeburg got back on the road to success and at the same time ended a frustrating series in which they were unable to win against Dresden.

The game started furiously and the home team initially had almost 80 percent possession of the ball. Despite this superiority, chances remained scarce for Dresden. Magdeburg, on the other hand, found their way into the game better after a weaker initial phase. Hugonet's opening goal came from a corner that was excellently prepared by Baris Atik. Daferner was able to equalize just before half-time after Magdeburg goalkeeper Dominik Reimann was unable to hold on to a shot. However, Kaars restored the lead for the guests shortly afterwards.

The second half was also characterized by intense duels, but there was no big rush of goals. Dresden failed several times due to Magdeburg's disciplined defense. Goalkeeper Schreiber in particular kept Dresden's pressure going with several saves. In the 75th minute, the VAR ruled against another goal by Kaars due to offside. Despite a final offensive from Dynamo, who fired several shots into Magdeburg's penalty area in the 89th minute, no further goals were scored. Jonas Oehmichen missed his best chance in the 79th minute when his header narrowly missed the goal.
The game ended with a final whistle after 90 minutes and 8 minutes of stoppage time, during which Dynamo were unable to score another goal despite a free kick in the 90th + 7th minute. It was the second appearance of the new season for both teams, and both started with a defeat. Magdeburg now has three points and can look forward to the next cup game against Saarbrücken.

The situation is currently tense and the coming week will be crucial.
