The match began evenly and tactically dominated. Both teams worked hard against the ball, but real chances were initially scarce. But in the 37th minute, the Bölle erupted in celebration: After a misplaced pass from Dresden and Marco Richter won the ball, the ball fell to Isac Lidberg. The Swede broke through in the penalty area and calmly slotted home the 1-0 lead – his seventh goal of the season.
Shortly after the break, the decisive moment came: Fraser Hornby had missed a chance with a header seconds earlier, but then remained cool in the 48th minute. After a precise through ball from Killian Corredor, the Scot appeared unmarked in front of Dresden's keeper and fired home to make it 2-0 – and at just the right time.
Buoyed by the atmospheric crowd, the Lilies continued to control the game. Florian Kohfeldt's team was solid defensively, conceding little, and they remained a constant threat going forward. While no further goals were scored, the 17,650 spectators witnessed a commanding performance from their team.
