Thanks to Christoph Daferner, Dynamo Dresden have established themselves in the top flight of the 3rd Football League. The striker was involved in all the goals in the 3-0 (2-0) win at relegated second division side VfL Osnabrück on matchday 14. In front of 15,741 spectators at the Osnabrück stadium on Bremer Brücke, the 26-year-old striker gave the home side a reassuring lead at the break with his goal in the 42nd minute and the assist for Jakob Lemmer's second goal in the second minute of stoppage time. Daferner also scored a brace in the 67th minute to make it 3:0.
The game was mainly characterized by duels in midfield and no major scoring chances until shortly before the break, before Daferner took the lead with a shot from the edge of the box. Shortly afterwards, he set up Lemmer for Dynamo's second goal.

After the break, Osnabrück striker Ba-Muaka Simakala was denied by Dresden goalkeeper Tim Schreiber in the 58th minute before Daferner scored nine minutes later to secure the first away win since September. Osnabrück striker Joel Zwarts was also sent off after an alleged assault in the 73rd minute, allowing Dynamo to play out the remainder of the match in superior numbers.
