FC Erzgebirge Aue put a damper on MSV Duisburg's promotion ambitions. The already relegated Saxons snatched a point from the Zebras with a 0-0 draw and bid farewell to the 3rd division with a strong home performance from 10,334 spectators.
As expected, promotion candidates Duisburg sought their salvation on the offensive from the outset. However, they came up against an opponent who defended very creatively. Aue pushed forward strongly, were aggressive and uncompromising in tackles and had a strong goalkeeper in Louis Lord.
