FC Erzgebirge Aue bowed out of the season with a 1-1 (1-0) draw at TSV 1860 Munich. In front of 15,000 spectators, Sean Seitz put the Saxons ahead after just two minutes. Thore Jacobsen (51) equalized with a penalty. Aue thus ended the season in 13th place.
Aue coach Jens Härtel had surprisingly put his trust in third goalkeeper Max Uhlig. And he justified this with a good performance. Just as the Erzgebirge team sold themselves well. After the early goal, which was set up by Kilian Jakob, who transferred to the "Lions" after the season, the Auer team set the tone. Steffen Nkansah (11) only hit the post with his head. The hosts only created chances towards the end of the first half. However, Julian Guttau (41) and Soichiro Kozuki (42) missed from good positions.
Aue also had a strong chance after the break. Jakob (46) narrowly missed. TSV then turned up the heat. A low shot from Kozuki was saved by Uhlig, but he was powerless against the penalty that Jakob caused with a hold. After that, 1860 pressed for the winning goal. But neither the hosts nor the Auern, who occasionally appeared in front of the Munich goal once more, were able to do so.
