Dynamo for the eighth time: BFC triumph in the cup final

The Mommsenstadion celebrated a roaring soccer festival! In front of a sold-out crowd of 8,400 spectators, BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf and BFC Dynamo faced each other in the final of the COSY-WASCH State Cup for Men's 1st Division in the tenth edition of the Amateur Final Day on May 24, 2025. BFC won a thrilling match 2:0 and thus advanced to the first round of the DFB Cup with their eighth state cup victory.

Right up to operating temperature

Both teams started the game highly motivated and wanted to leave no doubt that they would give their all to win the cup. It became hectic in the Dynamo penalty area after just a few seconds, but BFC keeper Hainke was able to save the ball under pressure just beyond the edge of the penalty area.

Mahlsdorf were not the only team to show their presence in front of goal; Dynamo also attracted attention with a number of attacking moves and even took the lead after 21 minutes: a targeted through ball on the right wing reached Henry Crosthwaite, who burst into the box and beat Eintracht goalkeeper Büchel with a powerful shot into the far corner - 1:0 for Weinrot-Weiß!

The Dynamos went on to create a number of situations in the penalty area without being able to produce any compelling finishes, while Mahlsdorf's chances near goal were more sporadic. The Purple & White's most dangerous chance came in the 28th minute when Valentin Rode failed to beat Hainke with a shot from the edge of the sixteen after a defensive lapse by Dynamo. BFC Dynamo went into the half-time break with a narrow lead.

Success in superior numbers

The second half got off to a cautious start. Both teams tried to attack, but there were no really compelling chances. In the 63rd minute, the unit, which had been performing well up to that point, weakened itself: Anton Kanther committed one foul too many and was sent off with a yellow-red card by referee Christoph Beblik. As a result, BFC began to gain more of an advantage. Kevin Lankford, for example, forced Mahlsdorf keeper Büchel into a strong flying save from an 18-meter free-kick (73').

After Lankford's close-range effort failed to score, it was he who finally put BFC on the road to victory a few minutes later: David Grözinger's impressive finish from a half-left position was clawed out of the right-hand triangle by Büchel, who made a strong save, but the Mahlsdorf goalkeeper was powerless against Lankford's follow-up shot from close range. So it was 2:0 for the GDR record champions.

In the final phase, the decimated Mahlsdorf side made a real effort to change the result. Rico Gladrow created Eintracht's best chance with a powerful volley from the edge of the box after a free-kick had been blocked by the BFC wall (84'). However, keeper Hainke was on hand to make a brilliant save and secure a 2-0 victory for BFC Dynamo. The Weinrot-Weissen thus won the Berlin state cup for the eighth time in the club's history and were duly celebrated by their fans after the match for their DFB Cup entry.

Berlin's summer of finals continues on Wednesday evening, May 28, at the Poststadion with the final of the Nike Youth Cup for A-juniors: To the schedule overview with ticket links.
