Dynamo Dresden flies from the Saxon Cup: surprise in Chemnitz!

This weekend the third round of the football Saxon Cup took place, and the games offered both exciting matches and some unexpected twists. In this round, the third division teams entered the competition, which led to interesting encounters. The surprising departure of Dynamo Dresden against Chemnitz FC, the record winner of the competition, was particularly out of the question, which provided the team from the Saxon Landesliga a lot of conversation.

The encounters formulated a clearly visible picture of the performance differences between the leagues. Erzgebirge Aue, a third division team, had trouble, but was able to prevail with a 2-0 victory against the Saxon class representative VfB Annaberg 09. Aue was thus spared from the shocking defeats that got other teams.

Grimma and Freital: Different fates

In another remarkable game, the league team Grimma switched off the regional league team VFC Plauen 1-0. This was an important success for Grimma because they were able to leave one of the higher teams behind. In contrast, SC Freital suffered a clear 0: 3 defeat against FSV Zwickau. Freital's captain Matti Kamenz, who previously played for Zwickau from 2018 to 2022, expressed his disappointment with the result after the game. "We still had good opportunities, but the opponent took his chances more effectively," said Kamenz.

, on the other hand, it went particularly well for the top division Budissa Bautzen, who won 4-0 in an obviously one -sided match against oak Reichenbrand, a representative of the 7th division. Bautzen's coach Steve Dieske is satisfied with the appearance of his team, who took control of the game in the second half. "Wind and the small artificial turf pitch were a challenge, but we mastered it well," said Dieske.

In the Heinz-Steyer Stadium in Dresden, there was a duel between the Sachsenliga clubs Dresdner SC and BSG Stahl Riesa. The DSC, which until then was in the last place in the table without a point, was able to show a 3-1 against Riesa and thus tear around the rudder.

In addition, the Saxon-Class teams TSV Rotation Dresden and SG Weixdorf decided to hand over their home rights to the regional leagues. The 1. FC Lok Leipzig and BSG Chemie Leipzig left no surprises in their games. While Weixdorf built a respectable resistance, you still had to give up 0: 3 in the Leutzscher Kunze sports park. The TSV Rotation Dresden, on the other hand, experienced a bitter defeat against Lok Leipzig with 0:12. Nevertheless, there was a ray of hope for the Dresdeners: a dinner together with the locomotive team ensured a conciliatory end of the day. Coach Michael Grabs noticed: "The players had a smile on their face after the game; it was a great experience."

The draw for the round of 16 will take place on Tuesday, and the fans are excited to see which encounters could come to the clubs. The competition shows how exciting Saxon football is and that surprises are always possible.
