BFC Dynamo dominates in the national cup: 7 goals against VfB Friedrichshain!

Last Thursday evening, BFC Dynamo once again demonstrated their dominance in the Berlin State Football Cup by reaching the third round of the competition. In the game against the district league team VfB Berlin-Friedrichshain 1911, the final result was 7:1 in favor of BFC Dynamo. The game took place in the Sportforum and was played in front of 8,400 spectators, who witnessed an exciting duel between the two teams.

The first goal was scored by Leandro Putaro, who contributed four goals with an outstanding performance (28th, 50th, 66th, 71st minute). Other goalscorers for BFC were Tim Windsheimer (35th minute), Max Ramoth (87th minute) and Dominik Pestic (90th minute). Julian Klein-Peters managed to catch up for VfB in the 61st minute when the score was 1:3. BFC Dynamo's performance was dominant throughout the game, even if there were some lapses in the early stages. A downside was the injury to newcomer Jan Shcherbakovski, who had to be replaced in the first half. Despite everything, BFC Dynamo competed with a full bench and a few U19 players.

Leading players and game progression

The game started intensely with many duels. BFC Dynamo took the lead in the 22nd minute with a goal from Crosthwaite, who was fed by Knezevic on the right. His shot found its way into the far corner, but VfB didn't let it get them down. The team created a few chances until half-time before BFC Dynamo went into the locker room with a score of 0-1.

After the break, BFC Dynamo showed an improved performance. Mahlsdorf's Kanther received a yellow-red card in the 63rd minute, which further limited VfB's chances. Although both teams remained unchanged in terms of personnel, the BFC had a clearer style of play. Goalscorer Lankford made it 0-2 in the 78th minute after a rebound, and the result continued to deteriorate for Mahlsdorf as the game revealed BFC Dynamo's superiority in the final phase.
