FC Erzgebirge Aue has been relegated after 23 years of professional soccer. Even against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, the first third division win in 2026 was not achieved. The 2:2 (1:1) was not enough to postpone relegation once again. And in the year of the club's 80th anniversary of all things. Moritz Flotho (24 minutes) and Tarik Gözüsirin (78 minutes) had both put the Hessians ahead, while Tristan Zobel (27 minutes) and Moritz Seiffert (85 minutes) equalized for Auer. In the 69th minute, Wiesbaden's Niklas May was shown a yellow card after a repeated foul.
Interim coach Chwitscha Schubitidse set an example for the future by bringing on 22-year-old Louis Lord in goal. "It was agreed that Martin Männel would play until the cup, then we wanted to reward Louis for his training performances," said the coach on MagentaSport. Lord was able to distinguish himself several times. He was powerless when Moritz Flotho scored to make it 0:1 (24th minute). Before that, he was lucky that Sascha Mockenhaupt was unable to put the ball into the empty Auer box from three meters (6th minute).
