VSG Altglienicke and BFC Dynamo advance to the COSY-WASCH Cup final

Last weekend, two exciting semi-finals determined the finalists of the COSY-WASCH State Cup for men. VSG Altglienicke Berlin and BFC Dynamo prevailed and will now meet on the final day of the amateur competition, May 23, 2026 at the Mommsenstadion.

Commanding victory in Baumschulenweg

VSG Altglienicke Berlin faced FC Hertha 03 Zehlendorf in the first semi-final. The favored VSG left nothing to chance at their home ground, leading 3:0 at half-time. The hosts continued to impress in the second half and secured their place in the final with a clear 4:0 victory. The last time they achieved this was in the 2021/22 season.

"We had a plan"

With early goals and a strong defense, they consistently played out their superiority and presented a confident performance, as interim coach Dan Twardzik also summed up:

"We started the game very well with high pressing and then rewarded ourselves with the goals pretty early on. We had a plan to do everything we could up front and the boys did that with maximum intensity.

The duel between SV Sparta Lichtenberg 1911 and reigning champions BFC Dynamo was a little more even. BFC equalized in stoppage time to preserve their chances of qualifying for this year's final. Even though Lichtenberg took the lead again in extra time (97'), Dynamo were able to come back and turn the game around within 120 seconds (102', 104'). An exciting semi-final with a high tempo ultimately ended with a clear 3:6 for the guests from Hohenschönhausen.

"We are coming off a well-deserved victory"

BFC coach Sven Körner summarized: "My verdict on the game is that we got a deserved win here, even if it didn't look like it for a long time because we only equalized through Kuffour in the last minute of normal time."
