Dynamo Dresden's Journey to Saarbrücken Continues in 3rd League Match Redo
Mark your calendars, Dynamo Dresden fans—your team will have another chance to face 1. FC Saarbrücken, this time in a replay of a match that was cut short due to soggy conditions last weekend. The sports court at the German Football Association (DFB) handed down the ruling on Friday, declaring that the abandoned game at half-time would need to be played again. The match, which ended in a scoreless stalemate, was halted due to the pitch becoming unplayable following a rainstorm.
The DFB sports court made it clear in their statement that neither team or club is to blame for the game's interruption. As a result, the rematch will take place at the same venue, coinciding with section 18, no. 4 of the DFB Law and Procedure Regulations. A specific date for the replay will be announced after appeals have been submitted and the deadline of 11:59 PM on Monday has passed.
To summarize, Dynamo Dresden will need to gear up for another battle against 1. FC Saarbrücken in the 3rd league. Regardless of who holds the responsibility for the initial abandonment, the team will face off against their opponents as ordered by the sports court.
