No points on the club's anniversary: Aue also lose in Munich

FC Erzgebirge Aue were unable to celebrate the club's 80th birthday on Wednesday with a point for their professional team. The Saxons lost 2-1 (1-1) at TSV 1860 Munich and remain stuck in the bottom of the 3rd division table. They remain five points adrift of safety, but 1. FC Saarbrücken still play on Wednesday.

Maximilian Wolfram put the Lions ahead after just seven minutes with his first goal of the season. Aue's top scorer Marcel Bär (12) quickly equalized. In increasingly heavy fog, Sigurd Haugen (50) finally scored the winning goal for Munich.

Strong start from Aue and cold shower

Aue started very strongly with three corner kicks and also had a good opportunity through Florian Guttau (5). However, they fell behind with the hosts' first attack: A shot by Kevin Volland was saved by Aue goalkeeper Martin Männel with a strong save, but right at the feet of Wolfram. The native of Saxony shocked his compatriots.

But not for long. The Erzgebirge immediately made their presence felt again in the Munich penalty area. Bär was the quickest to react and slotted the ball home to equalize. After that, the action ebbed and flowed with chances on both sides. It was only towards the end of the first half that the Lions took more of the initiative.

Fog allows Munich to score the winning goal

And continued to do so after the break. This time, two Löwen corners were followed by another lead. Männel completely lost track of the ball during a mix-up in his own penalty area in the thickening fog and missed the ball. Haugen was on hand with a header to restore the lead.

After a 17-minute interruption due to the fog, the intense game continued. Aue pressed vehemently for the equalizer, but missed a clear chance to equalize when Bär broke through in the 88th minute. As a result, Aue remain without a win in 2026.
