Erzgebirge Aue in deeper crisis after 2-1 defeat in Cottbus

Aue failed to take their chances

Aue were completely overrun in the early stages and were lucky not to be 2-0 down after just five minutes. As the game progressed, Erzgebirge fought their way into the match and created their first chance to equalize. This was followed by a lively back-and-forth with good opportunities on both sides.

The minutes after the restart clearly belonged to the Saxons, who could have scored three goals in the first eight minutes alone. Jannic Ehlers put the ball just over the bar and Guttau's shot touched the far post. Cottbus punished the chance spree from the penalty spot and took the lead again.
