SG Dynamo Dresden beat Darmstadt 98 1-0 in the 2. Bundesliga, Jonas Sterner's 12th-minute goal separating the sides. Kai Klefisch's second yellow card in the 71st minute ended any late hope of a Darmstadt fightback.
Sterner finished from Vincent Vermeij's assist to put the hosts ahead inside 12 minutes. Darmstadt mustered just one shot on target, and their task grew harder when Klefisch was sent off in the 71st minute.
The stats underlined Dresden's control: 62% possession, 12 shots to 10 and six on target to one. Darmstadt's goalkeeper made five saves to keep the defeat to a single goal.
