Dynamo Dresden claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over 1. FC Kaiserslautern to boost their survival hopes in the 2. Bundesliga. Vincent Vermeij scored the winning goal to give the home side three vital points. This was Dresden’s third win in their last four matches.
The Dutch striker tapped home a cross from Alexander Rossipal on the left wing. Vermeij has now found the net in back-to-back home games since joining from Fortuna Düsseldorf. Kaiserslautern failed to manage a single shot on target during the entire clash. The visitors have not scored in their last three outings.
Coach Torsten Lieberknecht will lose two players for the next fixture against Arminia Bielefeld. Midfielders Fabian Kunze and Paul Joly both received yellow cards and face suspension. Kunze picked up his 15th booking of the season and his 45th in just four years at the club.
Kaiserslautern are already safe from relegation but cannot reach the promotion play-offs. Meanwhile, Dresden sit outside the bottom three ahead of the final day. They need just one point away to Eintracht Braunschweig to stay in the division in their first season at this level.
