With a win in the 101st Saxony derby, FC Erzgebirge Aue have taken the lead in the 3rd Football League. Pavel Dotchev's team won 2:0 (2:0) on Friday evening against leaders Dynamo Dresden, who had been level on points up to that point, and moved into the lead with three wins from three games.
In front of 14,788 spectators in the sold-out Erzgebirge Stadium, Mirnes Pepic (6th minute) put the Erzgebirge side ahead before ex-Dresden player Marvin Stefaniak (9th minute) increased the lead. Dynamo's former captain Stefan Kutschke was shown a yellow card 26 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute.
After just twelve seconds, Aue keeper Martin Männel had to stretch himself to clear a low shot from Christoph Daferner for a corner. Dynamo started with all guns blazing, pressing high and exploiting the hosts' initial mistakes in midfield with quick transition play. But out of nowhere, Marcel Bär suddenly had the lead on his feet in front of Tim Schreiber, but failed to beat the Dynamo goalkeeper from eleven meters (6th minute).
