Dynamo Dresden – Hertha BSC

Hertha BSC kept their flawless record at the top of the table with a 2‑1 away win over Dynamo Dresden, extending their lead to 18 points from six victories and a perfect goal difference of +10. Dresden, languishing in 17th place with just four points after one win, one draw and four defeats, could not overturn the deficit, seeing their goal tally slip to eight for and 14 against. The result marks Hertha’s second meeting win this season, having already taken the lone head‑to‑head clash. The three‑point swing leaves Dresden still mired in the relegation zone while Hertha remains untroubled at the summit.
