It came as no surprise to Christoph Franke that the stars of yore won. The 76-year-old joked: “The four weeks of training were really worth it.” The Burkhardtsdorfer, in 2002 and 2004 twice Dynamo was promoted and since then a living memorial for the Dresden football fans, was happy to see many of his former players again: “I was amazed that one or the other can play football so well.” The former coach of Dynamo and Chemnitz wanted to highlight one FC not: “Anyone who looked here saw who was particularly good.”

Also noteworthy was the minute’s silence that both teams and the spectators observed shortly after the start of the game: They remembered Borea sports director Elvir Jugo, who died of stomach cancer on Thursday night. Some actors had worked or even played with the Bosnian, who was only 42 years old, at Borea / FV Nord or in Pirna-Copitz.

Sportfreunde-01-Vice-President Hebenstreit was relieved after the otherwise all-round fun encounter that no player was injured and everyone was happy: “It was wonderful, everything worked out. It was a nice thing – the whole thing too. The people are satisfied, the weather played along after the previous days. ”He was also pleased that the ceremony with invited guests from the city administration and from the sponsors as well as honorary members on Friday evening in the Chamber of Crafts was a successful affair. It was not yet possible to celebrate in the new clubhouse, because it should not be finished until December 24th. The construction work there is obviously on schedule: “It looks like the deadline is to be kept,” said Hebenstreit, who with his colleagues had also organized a youth tournament and a game for the first men’s team.
