Two weeks before the start of the third soccer league, FC Erzgebirge Aue lost their test match against Borussia Mönchengladbach despite a committed performance. The Bundesliga club, who play two divisions higher, only needed 13 minutes to celebrate a 3-0 (3-0) victory at the Erzgebirgsstadion in their test match premiere.
Aue had a great chance to take the lead in the 19th minute through Ryan Malone, but Gladbach goalkeeper Nicolas Omlin and the crossbar prevented them from going behind. Three minutes later, Marvin Stefaniak hit the crossbar.
