Dresden's Dynamo secures victory over Hertha II in a practice game - Dresden's Dynamo emerges victorious in the confrontation with Hertha's second team.
Dynamo Dresden started their pre-season on a positive note, securing a 2-0 victory against Hertha BSC II in a friendly match on June 28, 2025. The goals for Dresden were scored by Luca Herrmann, with one in the 45th minute and another in the 55th minute [1].
However, the team's recent DFB-Pokal match against FSV Mainz 05 on August 19, 2025, did not yield the same results. Mainz edged out Dresden with a 1-0 win, thanks to a free kick from Nadiem Amiri in the 22nd minute. The match was tense, with Mainz's coach being sent off late in the game. Despite Dresden having more chances (27 shots compared to Mainz's 11), they were unable to find the net [3].
In the friendly match against Hertha II, new signing Vincent Vermeij was not included in the Dynamo Dresden squad. The absence of coach Thomas Stamm, who was suspended by the DFB's disciplinary committee, also marked the game. Stamm's suspension was due to a red card received in a previous friendly match against SV Ried [2].
Stefan Kutschke scored the first goal for Dynamo Dresden in the friendly match against Hertha II, making it 1-0 in the 4th minute. The final score of the match was 3-0 in favour of Dresden, with Luca Herrmann adding two more goals to his tally [4].
