FC Erzgebirge Aue have ended their sporting crisis. The team led by interim coach Jörg Emmerich won 6:4 (3:1) at SV Sandhausen. The goal festival was a liberating blow for the Saxons, who had lost seven of their last ten league games. Coach Jens Härtel will take over the team from Saxony on January 2.
Omar Sijaric (26th minute, 41st, 58th), Kilian Jakob (31st), Ali Loune (70th) and Sean Seitz (77th) scored for Aue. Sandhausen initially took the lead with a goal from Jakob Lewald (10'), while Sebastian Stolze (57'), Dominic Baumann (76') and Jeremias Lorch (90.+5) also scored for the hosts from Baden-Württemberg, who lost for the third time in a row.
