«Crazy mentality, great attitude, everyone fought until they dropped. We can only be proud of what the team has achieved after a six-month break », said the happy Dynamo coach Christian Benbennek after the surprising 3-0 win against the big favorites and third division promoted Viktoria 89.

The Berlin AK had unexpectedly booked the final with the 4-0 win against last year’s winner VSG Altglienicke and wants to annoy a favorite in the DFB Cup again. In 2012 TSG Hoffenheim were snubbed 4-0. At Dynamo, recent cup memories are less good. In 2018 it was a 1: 9 against 1. FC Köln. The Berlin regional competition is still subject to a certain reservation, as the top division club Blau-Weiss 90 Berlin has only appealed against the termination with the five regional division.

Loser Viktoria also had a clear opinion about this legal step by the former Bundesliga club. Rocco Teichmann expressed astonishment and incomprehension in the rbb interview. The Viktoria sports director is optimistic about the solution to the stadium question, which is elementary for promotion to the third division. “We will work intensively with Olympiapark GmbH to at least get approval for playing in the third division,” he said.

The Olympic Stadium is emerging as a temporary solution before an agreement can be reached with the German Football Association on the Mommsen Stadium as a venue. “We are on the home straight and we have to be on the home straight too. I am still optimistic that we will then see another club in professional football in Berlin, ”said Teichmann, who must have clarified the regulations with the DFB by June 2nd.
