On Easter Monday, the finalists of the COSY-WASCH cup were determined in two exciting semi-finals. Both matches were decided in regulation time. In the end, Eintracht Mahlsdorf and BFC Dynamo prevailed and will meet in the amateur final on May 24 at the Mommsenstadion.
Last-minute extra time at Rosenhag
In the first semi-final of the day, Oberliga side BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf faced league rivals BFC Preussen. Both teams had already faced each other in the cup last year. Back then, Mahlsdorf came out on top 3:0 - but it was not to be as clear-cut this year.
The visitors from Lankwitz took the lead early on (2). Spurred on by the quick goal, the Prussians continued to create top-class chances. Only Mahlsdorf goalkeeper Büchel and aluminum luck on the part of the hosts prevented further goals. Eintracht withstood the pressure phase and slowly got into the game better. Mahlsdorf stepped up the pace at the start of the second half. The deserved reward: In the 51st minute, Nils Stettin scored the temporary equalizer with a header. Three minutes later, Nikolas Frank restored the lead for the visitors with a well-placed finish (54').
As the game progressed, a dynamic match developed with opportunities on both sides. However, the hosts now had more chances and were awarded a penalty in the final minute. This was safely converted by Björn Jopek, meaning that the majority of the 800 spectators could look forward to extra time (90.+1). Here, Mahlsdorf seamlessly continued the strong final phase of the regular season and took the lead for the first time with a fine header from Peter Köster. Justin Reichstein made the final score 4:2.

Thrilling cup thriller despite being short-handed early on
The second semi-final of the day, which attracted over 2,300 spectators to the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen, was no less exciting. Dynamo put their stamp on the game early on. David Grözinger gave BFC the lead from a free-kick (22'), which the hosts then cleverly managed. The visitors, visibly inhibited, conceded a yellow card to Robert Deziel Jr. shortly before the half-time whistle (44').
Contrary to expectations, the Altglienickers came out of the half-time break stronger than ever and made their first statement with a thunderous long-range shot from Arnem Kujovic (49'). They finally equalized in the 67th minute through Grace Bokake, who came on as a second-half substitute. BFC now got back on track. McMoordy Hüther gave Dynamo their second and deserved lead (85'). But VSG did not give up: The courageous visitors equalized again while short-handed (90+2), meaning that this semi-final thriller also went into extra time. It was not until the 113th minute that Rufat Dadashov finally redeemed the hosts by converting a penalty. It was BFC's first appearance in the final since 2021.
