1:3: Erzgebirge Aue also loses against Aachen

FC Erzgebirge Aue are edging ever closer to relegation from the third division after their third defeat in the third game of the English week. On matchday 28, Aue coach Christoph Dabrowski's team conceded their 17th defeat in total in a 3-1 (0-2) loss to Alemannia Aachen in front of 8,300 spectators at the Erzgebirge Stadium. Ten matchdays before the end of the season, Aue are still eight points behind the drop zone.

Three days after celebrating the club's 80th birthday, the hosts had the first chance through Vincent Ocansey, but the visitors proved more effective. Goal-getter Lars Gindorf first curled the ball past Aue goalkeeper Martin Männel to make it 1-0, before the striker added a dream goal three minutes later to make it 2-0.

The final goal after the restart

With three changes at the restart, Dabrowski brought a breath of fresh air and Ryan Malone restored hope with his header to make it 2-1 (47'). The goal initiated a period of pressure from Auer and substitute Erik Weinhauer had the equalizer on his feet (62').

However, Auer's pressure eased as the game progressed, allowing Aachen to get back into the game. After a fine combination, substitute Pierre Nadjombe put an end to Aue's ambitions with Aachen's third goal (80').
