FC Erzgebirge Aue have secured their first win of the new third division season. On matchday three, Aue coach Jens Härtel's team defeated newly promoted TSV Havelse 2:1 (0:1). Luan Simnica (66') and Eric Uhlmann (83') turned the game around at the Erzgebirge Stadium. John Posselt had already put the visitors ahead in the sixth minute.
Aue captain and goalkeeper Martin Männel returned in goal after missing the 1-0 defeat at SSV Ulm due to his son's school enrolment. Männel was unable to prevent the early deficit: After a corner, the 37-year-old found himself alone against two Lower Saxons, allowing Posselt to nod in.
